52 Configuring Symantec Mail Security for SMTP
Configuring connection and delivery options
Configuring HTTP connections
The Symantec Mail Security for SMTP software is managed through a Web-
based interface. This interface is provided through a built-in Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) server that is included with the software. This HTTP server is
independent of any existing HTTP server that is already installed on your server
and is not a general-purpose Web server.
The HTTP port number is set during installation, but it can be changed through
the administrative interface.
To configure HTTP connections
1
On the Symantec Mail Security for SMTP administrative interface, in the
left pane, click Configuration.
2
On the Setup tab, under HTTP/HTTPS, in the HTTP port number box, type
the port number on which the built-in HTTP server will listen.
The number that you specify becomes the port number in the URLs that you
use to access the Symantec Mail Security for SMTP administrative
interface. The port number must be exclusive to Symantec Mail Security for
SMTP and must not already be in use by any other program or service.
Because the built-in HTTP server is not a general purpose Web server, do
not use port number 80 (the default port number for general-purpose Web
servers). You should use the default port number of 8003. If you select a
port number other than the default, remember which port number you
selected.

Click Save Changes.
