It is highly recommended to protect the MailStore Server service with appropriate firewall rules. This document should help with setting up the required rules.
Important Notices:
- The communication channels described below MUST NOT be intercepted by any kind of email or web proxies that are provided as part of antivirus software or unified threat management gateways.
- The Windows Advanced Firewall is activated on any Windows Server installation by default. In order to connect to services (e.g. MailStore Web Access) of the MailStore Server, it is required that the appropriate firewall rules are added (see below). Some rules are automatically created during the installation.
The table below lists all TCP ports that can be utilized by MailStore Server. Not all ports need to be opened in the firewall in every scenario. These are the default ports which may have been altered. The following abbreviations are used in the source and target columns of that table:
- ANY = Any computer from private or public networks
- ADM = Computer or network used for administration
- SERVER = Server that hosts MailStore Server
