Configuring proxy server settings for automatic updates

GFI MailSecurity will automatically search and download updates (for example, virus definitions updates and Trojan & Executable Scanner definitions updates) from the GFI update servers.

If the server on which GFI MailSecurity is installed, connects to the internet through a proxy server, you need to configure the proxy server settings as follows:

1. Click the Settings node to open the general settings page.

2. Click the Updates tab.

3. Select the Enable proxy server check box. In the Proxy server and Port boxes specify the Machine Name / IP of the proxy server and the port to connect on respectively. If the proxy server requires authentication, select the Enable proxy authentication check box and specify the user name and password in the Username and Password boxes respectively.
