Antivirus Gateway Software and ListManager

ListManager does not scan for viruses in incoming messages. Although action phrases and list security will keep most viruses out, you may wish to use gateway antivirus software with ListManager. If you are using gateway antivirus software, it will accept email on port 25, scan it, and pass it to ListManager on a different port.

ListManager must be configured to use the port specified by your antivirus software to receive email. There are two ways of doing so:

Changing the ListManager SMTP Port Through the Web Interface

1. When configuring or installing your gateway antivirus software on the machine that is running ListManager, note the port to which it will forward mail.

2. In the ListManager web interface, go to Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Network Settings: Ports.

3. Specify the port on which ListManager should receive mail from your mail server in Incoming SMTP Port.

4. Save the page.

5. Shut down ListManager.

6. Restart ListManager, and start your gateway antivirus software. ListManager will now be accepting mail from the antivirus software on the port you specified.

Changing the ListManager SMTP Port from the Command Line

1. When configuring or installing your gateway antivirus software on the machine that is running ListManager, note the port to which it will forward mail.

2. Shut down ListManager.

3. Open a command prompt, and cd to the ListManager directory

4. On the command line, use the smtpport command to specify the port on which ListManager should receive mail from your mail server. Example:

lm smtpport 26

5. Restart ListManager, and start your gateway antivirus software. ListManager will now be accepting mail from the antivirus software on the port you specified.

Note that you may need to stop your antivirus software, start the ListManager web server, and then restart the antivirus software to have the ListManager web server start after installing ListManager.
