Hi,
I have installed a Proxmox Mail Gateway server, and in my opinion I have configured all the essentials. Unfortunately mail transport to the existing mail server does not work.
Setup is simple and as follows:
Firewall>UDP25>PMG>MailServer
Mailserver works fine, if I forward NAT from FW directly to mailserver. When redirecting to the MailGW, there is no delivery attempt in the logfiles mail.info, neither in the logfile of the mail server nor at the PMG. I have no more idea where the error can still lie
 
Please provide the logs from PMG (journalctl -b) - maybe with those we can guess where the issue is
 
OK attached You find the journalctl -b as saved logfile

Thanks

This log shows no connection attempts to the smtp-ports of PMG (no logs from postfix)

You need to try to send a mail to PMG - and then post the logs
(or if you tried sending a mail then your firewall seems to block the connections

not sure what this means - but SMTP uses TCP/25 - not UDP

sorry of course its TCP Port forwarding, its a typo in my post above
 
attached new logfile, actually I see no logs from postfix (also not in mail.info log) - its not clear, if I forward TCP25 directly to mail server in pfsense its working fine, if i forward to PMG´s IP nothing happens

* on a hunch i'd guess this is an issue somewhere in your pfsense rules? (maybe there is a block of any traffic to PMG's IP?
* if nothing shows up in the journal from postfix it's simply not contacted
* one thing you could still check on PMG is if postfix is indeed listening on port 25:
`ss -tlnp`

I hope this helps!
 
I will check pfsense also, and try to change gateways IP
below the output of ss -tlnp

seems ok :)
