One more thing left ,(how to insert the cable for that appliance)? I put 2 of these cable to put it into the same switch hub.Exchange 2003 server in the same switch.

Have you gone through the "Getting Started Guide" and the more detailed "Installation Guide" for Symantec Brightmail Gateway?  You can find copies of the documents on this page: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=53991

These documents have detailed instructions on how to properly configure the appliance.

If you have purchased the product, you can also call support with specific installation issues.

1).How to test this appliance is working or not?
2).i set eth1 to internal ip address and eth2 to external ip address,is that correct?

hello all
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KG3D8ZWV

This link is how i set my appliance.

1). I don't get any message flow in symantec mail box appliance dashboard.
2).If i set these appliance in wrong place, pls show me the way to put these appliance.

pls help me.

Does the MX-records of your domain point towards the IP-address of eth2 (as you assigned it an external ip-adress. By external I suppose a public IP-address which can be reached from the internet). What happens when you telnet on port 25 on the IP-address of eth2 when connected on an outside network (e.g. from home). Test it with following command "telnet IP_ADDRESS _ETH2_or_MX-RECORD 25"

Is there a firewall that might intercept/block incoming traffic.

From which source addresses do you accept incoming mail, it should be set to ANY.

The way you placed it in your network, should make it work.

Or all the processes running? More specific the scanner and MTA for accepting and processing mails.
You can check it on the "dashboard > hosts > software and services" and from "administration > configuration > click the host". When you go through administration you should also verify the MTA Operation status and make sure it is set to "accept and deliver messages normally".

Any luck with the configuration Monkeyhead ?

Hi MonkeyHead,

Your requierment is simple but you are making complex,

Pls correct if i am wrong . .
This is your setup

Firewall >>> Brightmail >>> Mail Server

First clarify us that this all appliance its in same subnet ? If yes

Then if you configuring brightmail IP (Private IP) then you need to NAT with (Public IP) which can be done from firewall for receiving mails from internet and also make sure your mx record is pointed to that publc IP, In bright mail you configure your domain to accept mail and internal mail server to forward all filter mails.

Better you reed getting started guide and admin guide to understand the technology and it will help you configure as per your requierment.
