I've been a long time user of SmarterMail simply as a CalDAV calender server and love it.  Thanks for a great product.

 

Previously I used the built-in server, on SmarterMail v13 I believe.  

 

I have done a fresh install on a Win 10 Pro box of SmarterMail 16.0.6382, configuring IIS 10 with the wizard during SM installation.  I have one binding for the SM web site to Host name "localhost", Port 9998, all IPs.

 

On the SM machine I can access SM via browser with no problems at localhost:9998.

I remotely connect to the SM server machine via OpenVPN.  The SM server is my VPN host with an IP of 192.168.17.1.

 

Under my old built-in SM server, I could access SM over the VPN at 192.168.17.1:9998.  Now when I try this, I get an HTTP Error 400 "Bad Request - Invalid Hostname" response.

 

I can access the default port 80 IIS page at 192.167.17.1

 

From the searches I have done this seems to point to an IIS configuration issue, but I have not yet determined how to resolve.  FYI Although this does not seem firewall related, I do have a port 9998 rule.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks
