MAILsweeper for GroupWise provides protection between two GroupWise domains.
This protection can be provided between:
Messages are routed between the two domains via API (Application Programming Interface) gateways.
![]() |
The API gateways for each domain must be purchased separately. |
When a message is routed between the two GroupWise domains the message server in the originating domain delivers it initially to an API gateway. At this point MAILsweeper intercepts and examines the message. If it is safe for onward delivery, the message is delivered to the API gateway in the destination domain. The message server in the destination domain then routes it to its intended destination.

When MAILsweeper is deployed between a primary and secondary domain there is no automatic directory synchronisation. This is due to a GroupWise limitation. |
To deploy MAILsweeper for GroupWise in a primary to primary domain follow the steps outlined below.
This machine should meet the technical specification outlined. It should also have TCP/IP and RPC services installed and enabled. See page 2-85 for a full list of pre-requisites the MAILsweeper host should be configured with.

There are several evaluation copies of anti-virus tools supplied on the installation CD-ROM. Note that the set-up software does not automatically install these anti-virus tools.
See the API gateway configuration section on page 2-110 for details.
See the Setting up routing section on page 2-111 for details.
See the Installation section on page 2-119 for details.
Admin
in the
Admin Domain, create an API gateway (API Gateway 1 in the
figure) and configure it as follows: A
ddressing Format to
GroupWise. Before MAILsweeper installation, routing is as follows:
Routing from Admin Domain | |
---|---|
Destination | Routing |
Routing from R&D Domain | |
---|---|
Destination | Routing |
After MAILsweeper installation, routing should be as follows:
Routing from Admin Domain | |
---|---|
Destination | Routing |
Routing from R&D Domain | |
---|---|
Destination | Routing |
This is achieved using the following steps:
Admin
in the
Admin Domain: Edit
the
R&D Domain and set the domain type to Foreign.
To do this you may have to re-create the domain exactly
as before, with the exception of the domain type
being Foreign. Admin
in the
R&D domain: Edit
the Admin
Domain and set the domain type to Foreign.
To do this you may have to re-create the domain exactly
as before, with the exception of the domain type
being Foreign. ![]() |

This domain acts as a protection domain and is home to MAILsweeper. Messages are routed between the domains via the API gateways.

As a result of a GroupWise limitation there is no directory synchronisation or exchange in this environment. |
To deploy MAILsweeper for GroupWise between a primary to secondary domain follow the steps outlined below.
This machine should meet the technical specification outlined. It should also have TCP/IP and RPC services installed and enabled. See page 2-118 for a full list of pre-requisites the MAILsweeper host should be configured with.

Destination | Routing |
Routing from R&D Domain | |

After MAILsweeper installation, routing should be as follows:
Routing from Admin Domain | |

Destination | Routing |
MSW Domain | via API Gateway |
Routing from R&D Domain | |
