Installation instructions
GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP Installing GFI MailSecurity 21
feeds. You can specify custom virtual directory names if you want, or
else leave the defaults.
NOTE: If you are installing on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
machine, the IIS SMTP service is not required, since it has its own
built in SMTP server. In such a case, the SMTP Server Setup area is
not displayed and you can click Next to continue and go to step 7
directly.
GFI MailSecurity relies on the IIS SMTP service to send and receive
SMTP mail. It binds to your default SMTP virtual server (i.e., the
server specified in the MX record of your DNS Server). However, if
you have multiple SMTP virtual servers on your domain, you can bind
GFI MailSecurity to any available SMTP virtual server. To change the
default SMTP connection, select the required server from the list of
available SMTP Virtual Servers provided in this dialog box.
NOTE: After installing the product, you can still bind GFI MailSecurity
to another SMTP virtual server from the GFI MailSecurity
Configuration (GFI MailSecurity Settings Bindings). For more
information, refer to the „SMTP server bindings‟ section in the „General
Settings‟ chapter.
Click Next to continue the installation.
6. Setup will now search your network and will import a list of your
Local Domains from the IIS SMTP service. GFI MailSecurity
determines if an email is inbound or outbound by comparing the
domain in a sender‟s address to the list of local domains. If the
address exists in the list, then the email is outbound. Check that all
your Local Domains have been included in the list on display. If not,
make sure to add any unlisted domain after the installation completes.
For more information, refer to the „Adding local domains‟ section in the
„General Settings‟ chapter. Click Next to continue.
7. Setup will now ask you to define the folder where you want to install
GFI MailSecurity. GFI MailSecurity requires approximately 50 MB of
free hard disk space. Additionally, you must also reserve
approximately 200 MB for temporary files. Click Change to specify a
new installation path or click Next to install in the default location and
proceed with the installation.
NOTE: If you are installing GFI MailSecurity on a x64 machine, it will
be installed under the c:\program files (x86)\ folder.
8. The installation wizard has now collected all the required installation
settings and is ready to install GFI MailSecurity. If you want to make
changes to these settings, click Back. Otherwise, click Install to start
the installation process.
9. During the installation, you are prompted that the setup needs to
restart the SMTP services. Click Yes to restart these services and
finalize the installation.
NOTE: If you are installing on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
machine, you will not be prompted to restart the SMTP service.
10. When the installation completes, click Finish to close the
installation wizard.
NOTE 1: If you are installing on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
machine, the installation will launch the GFI MailSecurity Post-
