Testing Outbound
Mail Delivery
To test your outbound mail path, use the following procedure to send an
email outside of your network:
1 From an internal client computer, send an email to an external user
outside of your network.
2 Check the
Activity
page of the 3Com Email Firewall to ensure the mail
message shows up in the
Mail Received Recently
section. Click the
Refresh button to provide an updated view.
3 Check the email mailbox of the destination external user to ensure the
mail was delivered.
In this scenario, the mail message should use the following route:
■
Internal mail client to your internal mail server
■
Internal mail server to the 3Com Email Firewall
■
3Com Email Firewall to the Firewall/Router
■
Firewall/Router to the external destination mail client
If your message was not delivered, start with your internal mail client and
work your way along the route until the point at where the mail was not
delivered to the next point.
When you have isolated the problem, modify your configuration and
retry the test.
