Getting Started Guide  Installation for Microsoft Exchange 2003  7 
<..\Program Files\Common Files\GFI> 
<..\Program Files (x86)\Common 
Files\GFI> 
<..\Inetpub\mailroot> If installed on a gateway machine. 
<..\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot> If installed on the same machine as 
Microsoft Exchange 2003. 
3.3.2  Firewall port settings 
Configure your firewall to allow the following port connections. These 
ports are used by GFI MailEssentials to connect to GFI servers: 
  DNS (Port 53) - Used by anti spam filters (IP DNS Blocklist, 
Sender Policy Framework, Header Checking). 
  FTP (Ports 20 and 21) - Used by GFI MailEssentials to connect to 
'ftp.gfisoftware.com'  and  retrieve  latest  product  version 
information. 
  HTTP (Port 80) - Used by GFI MailEssentials to download product 
patch and anti spam filter updates (i.e. SpamRazer, Anti-Phishing, 
and Bayesian anti spam filters) from the following locations: 
o  'http://update.gfi.com' 
o  'http://update.gfisoftware.com' 
o  'http://support.gfi.com' 
o  'http://db11.spamcatcher.net'  (GFI  MailEssentials  14  or 
earlier) 
o  'http://sn92.mailshell.net' (GFI MailEssentials 14 SR1 or later) 
  Remoting  (Ports  8021)  -  Used  in  the  latest  builds  of  GFI 
MailEssentials  for  inter-process  communication.  No  firewall 
configuration  is  required  to  allow  connections  to  or  from  the 
remoting ports since all the GFI MailEssentials processes run on 
the same server.  
NOTE:  Ensure  that  no  other  applications  (except  GFI 
MailEssentials) are listening on port 8021. 
  (OPTIONAL)  LDAP (Port  389)  -  Used  by  GFI  MailEssentials  to 
get email addresses from SMTP server. Only required if the server 
running GFI MailEssentials does not have access/cannot get list of 
users  from  Active  Directory  e.g.  in  a  DMZ  environment  or  other 
environment which does not use Active Directory. 
3.4 Installing on Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 
3.4.1  Upgrade from earlier version 
If  you  are  currently  using  a  previous  version  of  GFI  MailEssentials 
(versions  9,  10,  11,  12  and  14),  you  can  upgrade  your  current 
installation while at the same time retain all your existing configuration 
settings. 
Important notes 
  Upgrades  cannot be undone i.e. you cannot downgrade to an 
earlier version once you have installed the latest version.
