SMTP Mailbagging — Select this option if you have your
own domain name at the ISP (such as yourcompany.com),
if your ISP supports SMTP Mailbagging, and if your
Internet Server has a static IP address, then you have the
option of using this Internet mail delivery feature.
SMTP Mailbagging works similarly to Enhanced SMTP
Turn Delivery: your ISP queues your incoming mail on
their mail server and then automatically forwards it to
Internet Server the next time you connect to the Internet.
However, instead of using an SMTP command to initiate
mail delivery, SMTP Mailbagging uses the Unix “finger”
command.
Enter the details required to configure SMTP Mailbagging:

Type the Name or IP address of ISP’s incoming mail
server.

IS delivers outgoing mail directly — Select this
option if your ISP does not have SMTP mail server

this option to give your ISP control of delivering e-mail
to recipients. This is the recommended method.

To forward all incoming mail to an SMTP mail server on
your network. Select Forward email to the internal SMTP
mail server at IP address check box and enter the IP

If you chose Multi-drop Mailbox Forwarding as your
Incoming Mail Server Type, and your ISP uses a custom
header to specify mail recipients, enter the Custom
Addressee Identification Field. This field is only necessary
if specified by your ISP.
6
If you chose Multi-drop Mailbox Forwarding as your
Incoming Mail Server Type, and your ISP uses an alias IP
address or hostname in the Received line to specify mail
recipients, enter the IP address or hostname in the ISP
Mail Server Alias text box. This field is only necessary if
specified by your ISP. For example, some ISPs require an
alias such as mailstore or mailbox to be entered in this
field.

on Next to proceed to the ISP Diagnostics screen.
