Relay domains for out going email

[AlphaOmega]

Hello,

I tried to set up PMG as SMTP for out going email, I configured a relay domain with domains but when I send an email transaction I get a problem with the error message 'relay access denied'



Sep 12 10:52:32 xxx-xxx postfix/smtpd[59485]: connect from unknown[192.168.xxx.xxx]
Sep 12 10:52:32 xxx-xxx postfix/smtpd[59485]: Anonymous TLS connection established from unknown[192.168.xxx.xxx]: TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128/128 bits) key-exchange X25519 server-signature RSA-PSS (2048 bits)

Please advise.

I tried to set up PMG as SMTP for out going email,

For outgoing mail you need to send to the internal port of PMG (default is 26) - and the sending server needs to be listed as trusted IP/Network

Additionally 'domains' is most likely wrong - Relay Domains are for inbound traffic (from the internet to your local domains - and you need to add your domains and not the string 'domains'

I hope this helps

Thanks for your feed back and advice.

Currently i have listed the block IP client in Trusted IP/Network, since i use this PMG host as outgoing SMTP based on your explanation, i changed the External SMTP Port to 26 and the Internal SMTP Port to 25.



I have now tried to simulate sending an email and it has successfully worked, is the Ports configuration that I did above in line with its function?

Yes - just make sure you only list trusted IPs in the Networks section!
