2.5 Configuring the Internet Agent to Support SMS Push

Intellisync Mobile Suite Push is a feature that allows users to automatically receive e-mail messages and PIM data updates on their mobile devices soon after the e-mail arrives or the PIM data is updated on the server. If you want to use Push for device synchronization with GroupWise mailboxes, then you must configure relaying on the GroupWise Internet Agent to allow relaying of SMS messages through the Internet Agent.

IMPORTANT:Before you implement SMS Push, make sure that your phone carrier supports it. Also be aware that, with SMS Push, all e-mail messages arrive to your mobile device as SMS messages, which can be quite expensive on some phone plans, especially if you travel abroad.

You can configure relaying at three levels of security:

For security reasons, NovellĀ® recommends either a domain-based SMTP relay or an e-mail SMTP relay. If an open SMTP relay is selected, anyone can relay through your Internet Agent, which can create security issues.

For instructions on setting up an SMTP relay in the Internet Agent, see Enabling SMTP Relaying in Internet Agent in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide.
