Configure your basic mail services using
the Reconfigure Mail tool. After
configuration is complete, create the
necessary objects and rules.
• If you selected Transparent:

Create two rules: one for inbound
mail and one for outbound mail.
• Use the smtp (Mail Proxy) service.
• Use two Mail (SMTP proxy)
application defenses: one for
inbound traffic and one for
outbound traffic, each with
direction-appropriate settings.
• If you selected Secure Split SMTP
Servers:
•
Create two rules: one for inbound
mail and one for outbound mail.
• Use the sendmail (Sendmail
Server) service.
• The rules’ destination burb must be
<Any>. The destination endpoint
must also be <Any>.
• Use two Mail (Sendmail)
application defenses: one for
inbound traffic and one for

See the “Electronic Mail” chapter
of the
Sidewinder Administration
Guide.
Set up an
authentication
server to validate
remote users
You may need to register the appliance
with that server and perform some
additional steps.
See the “Authentication” chapter
of the Sidewinder Administration
Guide .
Create a
configuration
backup
An initial configuration backup is
automatically created when you first
configure your appliance. If you have
made changes, now is a good time for you
to create another configuration backup.
Backing up the configuration files enables
you to quickly restore an appliance to its
desired operational state. By storing your
configuration, you can:
• Have temporary storage for your
Sidewinder configuration.
• Back up your initial configuration.
• Quickly reconfigure your system after a
hardware failure.
See the “General Maintenance
Tasks” chapter of the
Sidewinder
Administration Guide
