Hi,



My company is using a different SMTP port (587) as the ISP block the standard port 25 to 3rd party SMTP servers. Can WFilter still catch and monitor the outgoing emails?

Do you use "SMTP via SSL" or just plain SMTP?

Only plain SMTP emails can be monitored.



If you're using plain SMTP, you can use the attached configuration file to change SMTP port to 587.

Please follow below steps:

1. Save the attached "pattern.xml.new" file to "config" directory of WFilter.

2. In "System Settings"->"Monitor Settings", click "Stop" to stop WFilter. Then click "start" to reload the settings.

3. Now emails sent from port 587 will be monitored.

Hi,



I guess you need to upload the file "pattern.xml.new" for the others to download :)

In WFilter 4.1, this attachment shall be renamed as "pattern.xml2.new".
