Description
-
Determines local interface address that is
listening.
Property type
-
A String value.
Syntax
-
object.BindIP [= value]
The BindIP Property syntax has these parts:
object |
An expression evaluating to an object
of type wodImapServer. |
value |
A String value. Holds IP address of
local interface. |
Remarks
- If you don't want your Imap server to be publicly
accessible (during testing or implementation, for instance)
you can make it use only one of your networks interfaces. For
instance, if you have local network on IP address
192.168.1.1, and one interface is connected to internet with
IP 100.101.102.103, you can make only user's from your
local network access Imap server by setting
-
- wodImapServer1.BindIP =
"192.168.1.1"
-
- As a result, connections from Internet will be denied (by
your OS, not application) and furthermore you will be allowed
to run some other Imap server on same port - on different
interface.
If you want your server to be accessible only from your
computer, set it up like this:
-
- wodImapServer1.BindIP =
"127.0.0.1"
-
- To make Imap server bind to all interfaces, just leave
this property empty. You can also specify IPv6 addresses when
UseIPv6 is set to True.
