Getting an Activation Code When Behind a Firewall

If you are behind a firewall, ListManager may not be able to automatically get an activation code if ports 25 or 80 are not open. You can follow these steps to receive your activation code:

1. Open port 80 or port 25. Port 25 must be open so that ListManager can send and receive mail. You will be able to receive your activation code after opening these ports.

2. If you use a proxy, you may edit the script getactivation.tcl, located in the lm/tcllib directory, to use that proxy. To do so:

     - Open the file getactivation.tcl with a plain text editor such as Notepad or Emacs.

     - Edit this line of the script to contain your proxy information. Be sure to remove the # sign.

# If you have a proxy server, you can specify it here
# and remove the '#' symbol to use it.

#http::config -proxyhost yourproxyhostname -proxyport yourproxyportnumber

What this means is that you should remove the # sign in the third line above, and replace yourproxyhostname with your proxy hostname, and yourproxyportnumber with your proxy port number. When you're done, it should look something like this:

http::config -proxyhost host.shelby.com -proxyport 1111
