WebGate can collect the all the email for and entire domain from a single mailbox. Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have the ability to put all email addressed to your domain into a single POP mailbox. This is commonly known as 'Domain POP Mail' or 'Mailbagging'. It works well with Dial-Up Internet connections, or Internet connections that don't have a static IP address. WebGate will try to collect mail from the mailbox according to the 'POP Collection Interval' (found on GetMail's 'Settings' screen). Once WebGate retrieves the messages, it will sort them into all the correct local mailboxes that you have setup in WebGate. This setup can be used to give the appearance of having a dedicated in-house mail server to both the Internet, and workstations on your local area network.
Steps to use Domain POP Mail:
1. Obtain a registered domain name (your ISP can usually help with this).
2. Have you ISP setup mailbagging (domain pop mail).
3. If you will be using Dial-Up networking to connect to the Internet see the previous section 'Dial-Up Networking Settings' to configure it.
4. On the 'GetMail' setup screen (found under the 'Interfaces' object) click on the 'Domain POP Mail Settings' button.
5. Check the 'Enabled' box.
6. Enter the name of the mailbox at your ISP you will collect the domain's mail from (do not include the @domain.com part) in the field 'POP Mailbox'
7. Enter the password to enter this mailbox in the 'POP Password' field.
8. Enter the name of your ISP's mail server in the 'POP Server' field.
9. If you want WebGate to remove all the email messages off your ISP's server after it has collected them, check the 'Remove Collected Mail From Server' box.
10. Apply your settings.
11. Setup one or more recipients in WebGate. By default, the recipient's name will be the name of their email address. Set the 'Recipient Type' to 'Email' if you want this account to only be used for email (no paging).
12. Some additional recipient email options can be set by clicking on the 'Email' object found beneath the recipient object you just created.
* See the section labeled 'POP Mail Settings' to collect mail from remote mail servers for individual recipients.
