WebGate can handle Ad-Hoc email in two different ways. The first way is to accept emails with ID/PIN numbers on the subject line of the mail messages. The second way is to accept email addressed to the ID/PIN number that the message should use for delivery (i.e. 1234567@pagingserver.com). Both these methods can be used conjunction with each other at the same time.
To setup the first scenario mentioned above:
1. Create a new recipient and set its 'Recipient Type' to 'Ad-Hoc'.
2. Check the 'Mail' box in the 'Enabled Services' section
3. Choose the carrier that messages addressed to this recipient should be sent to.
To use this new ad-hoc recipient account via email, send email addressed to the ad-hoc recipient just created, and in the subject line enter one or more ID/PIN numbers (separated by spaces or commas). The carrier associated with this ad-hoc recipient will be connected to and a copy of the email message will be sent to each ID/PIN number on the subject line of the email.
To setup the second scenario mentioned above:
1. Create a new recipient and set its 'Recipient Type' to 'Ad-Hoc'
2. Check the 'Mail' box in the 'Enabled Services' section
3. Choose the carrier that messages should be sent to via ad-hoc.
4. On the 'GetMail' setup screen (found under the 'Interfaces' object) click on the 'Ad-Hoc Mail Settings' button.
5. Choose 'Add' from the next screen.
6. Enter a range of ID/PIN numbers that you want sent to the carrier selected in step 3 above by providing a 'Starting ID/PIN' and an 'Ending ID/PIN'
7. From the 'Ad-Hoc Recipient' drop-down list, choose the recipient that was setup in step 1 above.
8. Apply your settings.
To use this method with email, simply address an email message to the WebGate server with an ID/PIN number (within the range set in setup 6 above) as the mailbox part of the email address (i.e. 1234567@mywebgateserver.com).
