DSM 7.0 Mail server and mail station

[snadert]

Anyone with a functioning combination of these 2? No problems installing but Mail station can't be reached or doesn't show.... while mail server does.

DS418, port 443 (https). Installed Mail Server and Mail Station. Mail Server functions properly but Mail station can't be reached, the Synology 404 page comes up. Rebooted the nas, no success, de-installed Mail Station and Mail Server, installed again, rebooted the nas, still no success. 443 is mapped to 5001.

Out of interest, how are you accessing Mail Station?

https://NAS_LAN_IP/mail
https://mynas.synology.me/mail
https://mynas.mydomain.com/mail

Mail Station uses HTTPS/443 so if you have a redirect to 5001 then it won't work.

https://domain_name/mail
All other services work like a charm

 

[fredbert]

Can you try accessing using the LAN IP instead of domain name, you may get a certificate warning.

 

[snadert]

Yep... works...

Then are you getting the issue when trying from the Internet, or loopback via the router?

When you say that 443 is mapped to 5001 do you mean you have a port forward rule in the router? If so then any normal HTTPS/443 will be forwarded as a HTTPS/5001 to the NAS, and Mail Station isn't listening on 5001. But the other NAS packages will respond to 5001, not 443 (except Web Station and Photo Station).

Indeed. But how to deal with this situation then? I want to use https://my-domain/mail

Don't port forward TCP 443 to NAS LAN IP / TCP 5001. Instead port forward TCP 443 to NAS LAN IP / TCP 443.

Then use Control Portal / Application Portal to setup specific domain names and/or alias for the packages. This then allows Mail Station to be accessed from the Internet using TCP 443.

Yes that dawned on me. Thanks for your help!
