SurgeWall (Version 1.4a or greater required)

SurgeWall is a special mode which SurgeMail can run it. In this mode it gateways email through itself to any existing mail server. One SurgeWall install can gateway email for any number of other servers; it is done on a per domain basis.

Why do it at all?

To provide existing mail servers and their users with the SurgeMail spam, virus and friends features. Plus a web interface to allow users to configure these features. SurgeMail will gateway mail there, pipe POP3 connections there, and provide a web interface for users. It does not require SurgeMail to have access to the other mail servers user database, SurgeMail will use POP3 login connections to verify users.

Configuration

SurgeWall is enabled at domain level, this means you need to add a domain to the SurgeMail config for each domain you want to SurgeWall. The domain level setting is called 'surgewall' you simply specify the address of the existing server. Example:

vdomain name="domain.com" address="1.2.3.4"
    surgewall "2.3.4.5"

The above setting will:

Another configuration option is the SurgeWall_options setting this setting will contain all the miscellaneous SurgeWall options i.e.

surgewall_options strip_domain="TRUE" pop="" smtp="" imap=""

See the SurgeWall_options setting description for details about each parameter.

Extras

To enable you to configure a large number of domains quickly there is a 'tellmail' command called 'SurgeWall' which will take an input file containing SurgeWall configurations and add them all to the SurgeMail config at once. Any pre-existing domains will be updated and any new ones added. There is an example input file called 'surgewall_example.txt' in the SurgeMail installation folder. You can modify this file or create your own file. To use this command simply type "tellmail surgewall surgewall_example.txt" at command prompt.
