SMTP Forwarding
Some ISPs require their users to send e-mails via the ISP’s SMTP server. All outgoing SMTP connections are
blocked except for those connecting to the ISPs. The BD1000 supports intercepting and redirecting all outgo-
ing SMTP connections (destined for TCP port 25) via a WAN connection to the WAN’s corresponding
SMTP server:
Figure 93. Miscellaneous Settings > Service Forwarding > SMTP Forwarding
To turn on SMTP forwarding, select the
Enable
check box under
SMTP Forwarding Setup
, then select the
boxes for the WAN connections in the
Enable Forwarding
column that require forwarding. Enter the ISP’s
e-mail server address and TCP port number for each WAN service.
The BD1000 will intercept SMTP connections, select a WAN with reference to the Outbound Policy and
then forward the connection to the forwarded SMTP server if the chosen WAN has enabled forwarding. If the
forwarding is disabled for a WAN connection, the BD1000 will forward the SMTP connections to the connec-
tion’s original destination.
Note
To route all SMTP connections only to specific WAN connection(s),
create a rule in
Outbound Policy
