Address of mail
In some public access wireless networks, to prevent spamming, ISPs do not allow email to
server for SMTP
be sent via their default mail server if the user is not a member of that network. The
port redirection
network administrator for such a network may designate a special SMTP server for this
purpose, but this requires that users change their SMTP IP address and other settings.
This BSC setting allows you to specify the IP address or hostname of the SMTP server (or
leave it blank for no SMTP redirection). When the BSC sees SMTP traffic, it will redirect it
to the SMTP server at the specified IP address and the user's email will be routed
appropriately. No changes to email settings by the user are required.
Note: You must disable any extended SMTP (ESMTP) features on the mail server where
the traffic will be redirected. ESMTP requires extended features such as username/
password authentication that users would not have.
