USING A PROXY SERVER AS A GATEWAY FOR EMAIL.

** For the following examples we will use 92.92.92.1 as the schools satellite system address. The SERVER ( where EMWAC© resides) is 90.0.0.1 and the Windows95©®
station where the Proxy Server is running is 90.0.0.2 . Internet Service Provider Mail Gateway SMTP server is 192.0.0.1

Note : You will need to get a DNS entry for your Satellite IP address here we will use a naming convention for our return email address
