The inbound virtual server is the server which accepts the emails coming from the Internet. Bind the ORF SMTP Module to this virtual server to filter incoming emails. Typically the inbound email server listens on port TCP/25 and may be the same as the outbound virtual server.
The Automatic Sender Whitelist of ORF monitors outgoing emails and builds a whitelist from the recipients of the outgoing emails. Bind the ORF SMTP Module to the virtual server which handles outgoing emails to allow this above feature to work. The outbound and inbound virtual server may be the same.
Typically you have only one virtual server on your system, called "Default SMTP Virtual Server". In this case, bind the SMTP Module to this server.
Binding changes are applied when you reinitialize the ORF Service. The reinitialization can be triggered by saving the configuration manually after changes have been made in the Administration Tool by clicking the Save icon in the toolbar, or by selecting
, or by pressing Ctrl + S or by issuing the following command from command line:The email filtering is uninterrupted during the reinitialization.
