3COM: What Must Be Done Before Installing the 3Com Gateway

• Microsoft Mail Gateway to 3Com 3+Mail, version 3.0

SUMMARY

Before you install the Microsoft Mail Gateway to 3Com 3+Mail, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Connect to the network drive where the Microsoft Mail data files are located. You must have full access rights to the mail data files.



2. On the local drive of the dedicated gateway PC, create a subdirectory for the gateway files. You must create a directory before installation; the installation program does not do this for you.



3. Log on to both the 3+Open Network and the 3+Name Service as the administrative user.



4. Make note of the name of the 3+Mail Service that is running.

• The drive and path to the directory where the gateway files are to go.



• The unique DOMAIN:ORGANIZATION the _GATEWAY user will be defined in.

  This must be a new DOMAIN:ORGANIZATION; it uniquely identifies the 3+Mail gateway. This DOMAIN:ORGANIZATION is created in the 3+Name Service. The _GATEWAY user also is created in this DOMAIN:ORGANIZATION, which acts as the mailbag for all mail going from 3+Mail to MS Mail.




• The full three-part name of the mail server for the _GATEWAY user. This is in the format SERVERNAME:DOMAIN:ORGANIZATION.
