Server Settings: Network Settings: Receive Email

Forward mail IP address

Optionally forward non-ListManager mail to another SMTP server.

This setting allows Aurea List Manager to coexist with another SMTP server on the same machine and IP address.

For instance, if the machine you want to run Aurea List Manager on has a mail server running on it (i.e. Sendmail or Post.Office) and you want this machine to continue running a mail server, this setting will allow ListManager to coexist with your mail server.

Mail sending and receiving from both Aurea List Manager and your regular mail server is unaffected. In this way, both ListManager and your mail server can coexist on the same machine.

For this setting, specify the TCP/IP address of the receiving mail server.

For example: "127.0.0.1" forwards non-Aurea List Manager mail to an SMTP server running on the same machine.

Because Aurea List Manager blindly forwards all non-Aurea List Manager mail to the mail server listed here, the receiving email server should have rules so it does not automatically trust any mail received from Aurea List Manager. Otherwise, the receiving mail server could become an open relay. Aurea List Manager by itself cannot be an open relay.

See Mail Server Coexistence for more information.

Forward mail port

Specifies the port Aurea List Manager should forward non-Aurea List Manager mail. "25" is the standard SMTP port; if Aurea List Manager is coexisting on the same IP address as another mail server, you need to configure that mail server to listen to another port (e.g., 26). You may then specify the port number here.
