Normally, there should be two mailservers in the "Relays" tab.
One for POP3, which is used for fetching mail from a mailserver, and another one for "SMTP", whose job is sending email.
New mailservers must be created when running GPGrelay for the first time.
Normally two new entries will be needed, one for sending (SMTP), the other one for receiving mail (POP3). But you can have more, depending on your "real" mailservers.
First, we'll configure the relay for sending mail:
Click the "Add" button ; this will open a new window. Within this window, you may wish to enter a name. I recommend entering the name of your mailserver, e. g. "mailserver.domain.com". You won't have to change something in the textbox labeled "Local Port" for now (the specified port should be free on your computer), so continue with "Remote Server".
Enter the mailserver of your provider, if in doubt about the name, contact the helpdesk of your provider. "Remote port" can be left as is, so just click the radio button "SMTP" in the lower left corner and you're done with the first server after clicking "OK".
Now for the second relay, which will be used to receive mail: Again, clicking the "Add" button will open a new window, just like before.
Enter a name for the relay. Careful now: "Local port" should be changed to "32110" (if you create a new relay, clicking the "POP3"-Checkbox at the bottom will also change this automatically).
"Remote Server" will be the name of your providers' mailserver. This relay may, but does not necessarily have to be the same as the one specified above. Don't change "Remote Port". Click the radio button "POP3" and "Remote Port" will be changed to "110" automatically. Click "OK".
The last thing to do is controling the checkboxes "SMTP" and "POP3". If they are not active, click "Restart Threads" and the checkboxes will be marked active.
Done.
Remark: Don't change the checkboxes during a running operation, e.g. fetching mail. This could result in erratic behaviour.
