Does pmg support this use case ?

[tarball]

Hello !

I own a domain that I would like to filter the mail for.
I don't want to *host* the mail for the domain I own but rather want the mail for <user1>@mydomain.com to be filtered via PMG and then forwarded to <user2>@gmail|isp.com.
So in other words, I don't want to store e-mail for <user1>@mydomain.com, I want the e-mail filtered then forwarded to another mailbox on another domain (gmail, yahoo, ISP..).
Similar to a .forward in <user1>@mydomain.com pointing to <user2>@gmail|isp.com; except without the need for a mail server in @mydomain.com

Is this possible ? I glanced over the doc and couldn't see anything like it, maybe i missed something ?

Thank you

Possible - yes - but it's not a use-case PMG is designed for.
Meaning - PMG uses postfix as MTA - and you configure that to do the forwarding to your @gmail|isp mailaddress using the templateing system:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmgconfig_template_engine

However this is not included in the GUI or supported by the enterprise support

I hope this helps!

Ah thank you ! I was expecting this to be a more common use-case. I'll give it a try.

Everything works fine now -- Might want to add this to the GUI imho, it's only a few more lists and text files to manage. It's functionality that could become a great feature imho. Thanks again @Stoiko Ivanov

Pls share your custom configuration for your use case.

- Added domain1.com to Configuration->Mail Proxy->Relay Domains list
- SSH into the pmg node as root

mkdir -p /etc/pmg/templates/ ; cp /var/lib/pmg/templates/main.cf.in /etc/pmg/templates/

- Added the following to /etc/pmg/templates/main.cf.in

relay_domains = hash:/etc/pmg/domains virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

root@mx:cat /etc/pmg/domains domain1.com 1

root@mx:/etc/pmg/templates# cat /etc/postfix/virtual ############### ## domain1.com ############## user_1@domain1.com user_1_gmail@gmail.com user_2@domain1.com user_2_gmail@yahoo.com
root@mx:postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
root@mx:postconf -m
root@mx:pmgconfig sync --restart 1

This link was also useful w.r.t the configuration of virtual users with postfix.
