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.
    • Using the fictional domain "mytdomain.com" and MailStore Gateway will 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 a public 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".

Creating A MailStore Gateway Mailbox

  • Open a supported web browser.
  • Navigate to https://<hostname-of-mailstore-gateway-server>:8450.
