Dear E-Mail folks,

I'm trying to set up mailbox for fetchmail. But the other way around as offered by PGM: Proxmox GM shall deliver accepted e-mails to a local mailbox from several (relay?) domains onto the PGM host. This mailbox will be fetchmailed by another host (from behind a firewall) which then actually delivers the e-mails to the final e-mail servers in a secured network.

Long story short: PGM can't push e-mails through the firewall, but we can pull e-mails from behind.


My thought was to set up a Mail Proxy, but I don't know what to enter into the Host field. Though, it can not be empty either.
- Relay Domain: <censored>.de
- Host: ???
- Port: LMTP


I tested sending local mails to the designated user using mailx, where only using the username worked properly. Using any @<any_domain>.<xyz> did not work. Neither 'localhost' nor <hostname> nor <fqdn>.

Regards

So... Long way to go, but I did it, using the template for postfix with mydestination, a virtual table, and a SMTP transport to localhost.
