Configuring the mail download (POP3) proxies
If the mail download protocol is enabled (the default setting), you can
configure the delimiter characters (for generic proxy connections) and port
numbers (for dedicated proxy connections).
When a user makes a generic proxy connection through the appliance, the
appliance separates the user name, host name and port number with hash (#)
and colon (:) delimiter characters by default:
user#host:port
To change the delimiter characters for generic POP3 proxy connections:
1. In the navigation bar, select Mail Download Configuration .
2. Specify the new delimiter characters that you want to use (see “Generic
proxy” on page 27 ).
3. Click Apply all changes .
The web browser sends your changes to the appliance.
To specify the ports used for dedicated POP3 proxy connections:
1. In the Mail Download Configuration page, specify the port numbers and
POP3 servers in the Dedicated Proxy Connections list. You can specify as
many servers as you want, but their associated port numbers must be
unique (see
“Dedicated proxy” on page 27 ).
To add a POP3 server, click Add , then specify the unique port number
(typically between 1024–32767) and server domain name (such as
pop3server.externalorg.com) in the Add dialog box that appears.
Click
OK to add it to the Dedicated Proxy Connections list.
2. Click Apply all changes .
