| == Sending Mails (SMTP) over an SSH tunnel == It is possible to send mails from outside our university using our mail server over an SSH-tunnel. To do this, you need two things: |

| * a SSH client like Putty or SSH Secure Shell * an additional profile in Thunderbird for our mail server |

| Line 8: | Line 5: |
| The configuration of both the ssh client and thunderbird is described below. I've you are an advanced user and used to using SSH, especially in a shell, scroll down to get a very short explanation how you can establish the SSH tunnel using the ssh comandline tool. | = General = |

| === Configuring the SSH client === As an example, we will demonstrate here how you have to configure SSH Secure Shell to build up an SSH tunnel to our network allowing you to use our mail server. |

| Download and install SSH Secure Shell. You can download it from [[javascript:void(0);/*1250512971679*/|this location]], its is free for non-commercial use. | = Adressbuch UZH = |

| Start SSH Secure Shell. If you use it for the first time, you need to create a new profile. Click on "File -> Profiles -> Add Profile ..." and enter a name for your profile. | * Thunderbird > Menu > Preferences > Preferences |

| In the example, we created a new profile called "dc". | {{attachment:tb2.png}} |
| Line 21: | Line 17: |
| Now, you need to configure the profile just created. Open the configuration windows via "File -> Profiles -> Edit Profiles ..." and select your profile from the displayed list. Make sure that the "Connections"-Panel is shown on the right side. Fill in the host name, your username and the portnumber as shown in the following table. The other options should work fine. ||<tablewidth="500px"style="vertical-align: top;">Host Name: ||<style="vertical-align: top;">mathssh.uzh.ch || ||User Name: ||your own username || ||Port Number: ||22 || |

You are now ready to use SSH tunneling to send your mails. === Sending mails over the SSH tunnel === To send mails over the SSH tunnel you need to connect to our network with your SSH client. In SSH Secure Shell, simply select your profile from "File -> Profiles -> [name of your profile]" and SSH Secure Shell will try automaticaly to connect to our network. Enter your password if you are asked for it. {{attachment:usage1.png}} SSH Secure Shell tells you in the lower left corner if you are connected to our network or not. If you are connected, write your mails as usual. Before sending a mail you should check you use the proper mailserver for this mail. To do this, click on "Tools -> Account Settings..." in the window you composed your mail, select your account name on the left and make sure you selected the proper option under "Outgoing Server" on the right. Then close the window by clicking "Ok" and send your mail. {{attachment:usage2.png}} {{attachment:usage3.png}} If you're done with your mails, simply close SSH Secure Shell. === Establishing the SSH tunnel for experts === If you are used to using SSH, especially via the ssh commandline tool in a shell, you can simply create the necessary SSH tunnel with the following command: {{{ ssh [username]@mathssh.uzh.ch -L [ListeningPort]:mail.math.uzh.ch:2525 }}} As an example, user dc creates an SSH tunnel with listening port 25025 with the following command: {{{ ssh dc@mathssh.uzh.ch -L 25025:mail.math.uzh.ch:2525 }}} == Open URLs (no/wrong Browser) == . `Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor` {{attachment:thunderbird.firefox.png}} |
