Using WebGate as a regular SMTP/POP3 email server
In addition to WebGate's paging capabilities, WebGate can function as a standard SMTP/POP mail server for regular everyday email. Email-only accounts can be created which have no paging capabilities, but can act as regular email accounts and can be used with regular email clients (like Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, etc.). To create an email-only account, create a recipient and choose 'Email' in the 'Recipient Type' section. Then select the 'Email' object from under the newly created recipient. Check the 'Enable POP Access to Messages' box, and enter a password in the 'POP Password' field. Then simply setup your email client to use the WebGate computer as the mail server.
Running WebGate's mail server service on the same machine as an existing mail server
WebGate can be run on the same computer as another mail server. This section discusses advanced topics and should only be performed by advanced users. Each mail server must be bound to its own unique IP address for this configuration to work. You must first bind you existing mail server to one IP address that your computer has (some mail server applications may not have this advanced option). Next to setup WebGate to use the other IP address (you computer must have at least two IP addresses) you must make a few manual entries into the Windows registry. Here are the steps:
1. Run the regedit.exe program by clicking on the Windows 'Start' button, choosing 'Run', typing 'regedit' into the entry field, and clicking the 'OK' button.
2. Browse to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NotePage\PageGate.
3. Create a new string value named SMTP_IP, and with a value of the IP address for WebGate's mail service to bind to.
4. Create a new dword value named SMTP_Port, and with a value of 25
5. Create a new string value named POP_IP, and with a value of the IP address for WebGate's mail service to bind to.
6. Create a new dword value named POP_Port, and with a value of 110
7. Exit regedit and restart WebGate's GetMail module (or simply restart the WebGate server).
