Applies To:
  • Express All

Synopsis:
How to configure Mailsite Express on a stand alone server to access a remote Mailsite sever mailboxes.

More Information:
You need to install express on the IIS machine. In addition, you will need to modify the expresscfg.asp file located in the express folder. To modify the file, follow the steps below:

1. Browse to the express folder.
2. Open notepad.
3. Select the expresscfg.asp file and drag it into notepad.
4. Edit the expresscfg.asp line items 6 and 7 in the file as follows:

' Item 6 - Host name or ip address of MailSite IMAP4 server
strHost = "localhost" (change local host to the IP address of the mailserver)


' Item 7 - Host name or ip address of MailSite SMTP server
strOutHost = "localhost" (change local host to the IP address of the mailserver)


5. Save the file and exit your editor.

Your IIS server should see the mail server properly. To verify connection, use the Mailsite Express troubleshooter located on your Mailsite Express website similar to the following path:

http://your.mail-domain.com/express/extshoot.asp

Input the user name and password.
