Connecting to message services through a proxy

The following diagram illustrates communication between the OP and OD environments when using a SOCKS proxy. Note that SOCKS proxy is configured on the local "On Premises" environment.

Verify the following points before you enable the proxy options.
  • The proxy server is a SOCKS proxy.
  • The proxy server can access the Deliver OD environment and allows the traffic to and from the ports configured in the HCL Data center used by your hosted email account.
  • You have installed the SOCKS proxy in such a way that the Deliver OP environment can access the proxy.
