External Mail - Activating the Gateway

To activate the Gateway, open the Gateway register in the External Gateway module (External Gateway) or the Gateway Settings setting in the E-mail and Conferences module (Internal Gateway). The 'Gateways: Inspect' window opens:

Specify in seconds how often the Gateway is to check for incoming and outgoing mail. A typical setting will be 3600 seconds (one hour). In an Internal Gateway, it is not recommended to check for mail much more frequently than this. Checking for mail (especially incoming mail) makes heavy demands on the server and so other tasks may be completed more slowly than usual.

If you will be using an External Gateway on a machine without an interface, enter its ID (e.g. "GATE") and password in the Username and Password fields. This will allow the Gateway to log in to your main Hansa server automatically when it is started up. Make sure the ID does not have access to other parts of the system, as described here.

Finally, check the Activate box. Then, save and close the window by clicking [Save] in the Button Bar.
