INSTALLATION ASKS
After obtaining a username and password, login to 3Com eSupport and
follow the instructions to register your 3Com Email Firewall with the
License Key that came with your system.
Copy your License Key down on the included Configuration Worksheet.
You will enter this key during the licensing process.
The 3Com Email Firewall is designed to be situated between your mail
servers and the Internet so that there are no direct SMTP (Simple Mail
Transport Protocol) connections between external and internal servers.
The 3Com Email Firewall is installed behind the existing firewall on the
Internal network.
Inbound mail will be forwarded from the Firewall or Router to the 3Com
Email Firewall where it will be scanned, processed, and then sent to your
internal mail server for delivery.
Outbound mail will be sent from your internal mail server to the 3Com
Email Firewall to be scanned, processed, and then delivered to the
destination SMTP server on the Internet.
