Hello, Proxmox Mail Gateway can be configured as a relay server in order to filter spam-out?
Thanks!
 
Thanks Tom,

I just ordered and installed, I've been added the sender IP on Mail Proxy > Networks

Code:
root@pmg:~# cat /etc/pmg/mynetworks
185.47.128.0/22 #
188.213.4.0/22 #
5.134.112.0/21 #
root@pmg:~#


But I'm getting error Relay access denied

What is wrong?

Thanks

Did you add your internal IP on:

"Configuration/Mail Proxy/Networks: Trusted Networks"
 
Also, the default port for outgoing mail (trusted) is 26. If you want to relay mails, you need toö connect to that port.
 
On my source server, I've changed the port to 26, and I get a Connection refused error:

maybe a firewall in between?

Yes, my mistake.
And all this relayed emails are filtered by the antispam?

I've tried to forward a spam email and has not been blocked.
Also, in Statics > Spam Score all counts are zero, including the Score 0 value.

Maybe relayed emails are not scanned?

I have the same problem where relayed mails are not filtered by the antispam and proxmox is consdering them as all outbound mail.

How did you resolve this?

a) next time please open a new thread than replying to one that has not seen any activity in a long time ..

b) If PMG sees the mails as outbound then they arrive on the internal port (GUI->Configuration->Mail Proxy)

Make sure you have the correct ports configured and that the FIrewall and NAT rules in your network are correct

I hope this helps!
