How to create Virtual Directories that forward to Webmail and Helm
This article explains how to add a virtual directory to a domain so that users can access Webmail and Helm as:
Method 1:
http://your-domainname.com/
webmail instead of http://your-domainname.com:9998
http://your-domainname.com/
helm instead of http://your-domainname.com:8086
...or...
Method 2:
http://
webmail.your-domainname.com instead of http://your-domainname.com:9998
http://
helm.your-domainname.com instead of http://your-domainname.com:8086
Note: Currently "webmail.iseu.co.uk" forwards to Webmail (SmarterMail on port :9998) and "helm.iseu.co.uk" forwards to Helm (port :8086)
Method 1: (Virtual Directory, with Redirect)
1) Log into Helm, navigate to the desired domain name and choose "Virtual Directories"
2) Name the virtual directory either "webmail" or "helm" and enter the redirect URL (such as "webmail.iseu.co.uk")
3) Click "Save" and test the URL.
Method 2: (Subdomain, with redirect script)
1) Log into Helm, navigate to the desired domain name and choose "Subdomains"
2) Add a subdomain, such as "webmail"
3) Now go back and choose "File Manager", selecting "wwwroot" then the name of the subdomain (such as "webmail")
4) Click the icon to add a new file (2nd icon from the left in the above picture!)
5) In the "Save File As" box enter "default.asp" and in the "File Content" enter the following line:
<% response.redirect("http://my-other-website.com") %>
(Replace "my-other-website.com" with the redirect URL, such as
your-domainname.com:9998)
6) Click save and test the URL.
