I am a programmer thrown into the deep end with our server! So i hope someone can help me.

Ok, we have our internal network with a seperate mail server and a webserver.

We want to host our website in-house, so i configured the router to forward all http requests to our webserver. All working fine, untill i realized that i couldn't access my mail externally.

Casue all http requests were passed onto the webserver.

Can i use a different port, when accessing mail from outside the network? From what i have read until now, you can have http point only to one port, so this doesn't seem to be an option.

Can i set up another port to point to the mail server? Or is there another solution...?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Munira

Yes,
you can change the port that you access you mail on to anyport you like...


port 80 is the standard HTTP port, but there is no reason it can't be any others...

just change your webmail server to look at port 81, and then to look at your mail, instead of going to www.company.com got to www.company.com:81
