Getting Started Guide  Installation for Microsoft Exchange 2007 & 2010  47 
<..\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot> If installed on the same machine as 
Microsoft Exchange 2007/2010. 
4.3.2  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.  
4.4 Installing on Microsoft Exchange or SBS server 
4.4.1  Upgrade from earlier version 
If  you  are  currently  using  a  previous  version  of  GFI  MailEssentials 
(version 12 or 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. 
  On  upgrading  an  existing  installation,  licensing  reverts  to  trial 
version  and  a  new  fully  purchased  license  key  for  the  GFI 
MailEssentials 2010  is  required.  For more information on  new 
license keys, refer to: http://customers.gfi.com
