Messaging Gateway

Good Morning,
We are a current Mail Security for SMTP 5.x customer.  We received notification of a free upgrade to Brightmail Gateway.  We downloaded it and currently testing it.  We setup this product on a test IP address and test Hostname.  When we are ready to move it into Production, we want to be able to use the current Mail Security server name and IP address so we have little impact on the enviroment.  In Mail Security, you were not able to do this because the Spam Quarantine would not register the new IP address (Fixed by hacking the MySQL Database).

Question, I'm I going to have the same problems as before with Brightmail Gateway or did the developers take this into account?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Doug

Hi,

on Symantec Brightmail Gateway 8.0.x you can change the IP address without problems.

I've actually had some tough times changing IP addresses on a Brightmail Gateway Appliance. It happened to me in September. And I saw it just happen to someone else. While it might be rare, it does happen. Try your best to build the machine with the IP addresses you'll be using permanantly.

Chris, were you using version 8.x?

Hi Chris,

Can you provide details on the "tough times" changing IP addresses" on SBG and "saw it happen to someone else"?  This doesn't tell us anything about the problems you or someone else faced.  Without the proper feedback and knowing what the issues are there is no way to fix them.

Thanks

Adnan
