MailStore Gateway Quick Start Guide

Installation

If you have not already downloaded the MailStore Gateway software, please download it from https://www.mailstore.com/en/support/downloads-and-resources/.

After downloading, start the installation process by double-clicking on the downloaded setup file .
Select the language and click OK.
Read the license agreement.
Select I accept the agreement and click Next.
Specify the target folder for the program files (default: C:\Program Files\MailStore\MailStore Gateway) and click Next.
The setup program now extracts all program files into the given target folder.
Click Finish to exit the installation program.

Configuration Tool setup

The following web browsers in their respective current version are supported by the Management Console:

The configuration tool shortcut is located on the desktop of your machine and is named "MailStore Gateway". Double-click to open that tool.
Configure the "E-Mail Domain" by entering your (MailStore Gateway domain) which is different than your primary domain.
- If the primary domain is mytdomain.com and MailStore Gateway should receive emails, a DNS record like msgw.mytdomain.com needs to be created in the DNS zone mytdomain.com. The record must point to a public IP address on which MailStore Gateway is reachable. In MailStore Gateway the value of E-Mail Domain would be set to msgw.mytdomain.com. If MailStore Gateway is located behind a NAT router or firewall, additional configuration may be needed. Refer to Firewall Configuration for further details.
- Example: Using our example above from our fictional domain, assuming we have an external IP address of 11.12.13.14 assigned to msgw.mytdomain.com and the internal IP address of our MailStore Gateway server is 20.21.22.23, we would create a firewall rule of 11.12.13.14:25-->20.21.22.23.
In the "Certificate" field, click the box with the three dots and choose "Create Self-Signed Certificate" and click "OK". This will create a self-signed certificate using the FQDN of the MailStore Gateway machine which is the default configuration.
Leave the Management-console port set to the default of 8450 and the Let's Encrypt Port set to 80.
Click the "Apply" button to apply the configuration changes and then click "Start Service".
