Sending Outgoing Messages with Proxmox over Smarthost

[registration@svt.de]

Hi, is there any chance for sending outgoing messages from proxmox over an internet relayhost?

We are using Proxmox Mailgateway 1.4 for Maildelivery of 3 domains between out internet relay host and our Exchange Server.

Well, Proxmox is designed to send mails directly, so we do not have a web interface for setting a default relay. Proxmox uses Postfix as mail delivery agent, which is very reliable. So using an additional outgoing relay is useless.

If you really need to send outgoing mails via a Proxy, you need to edit the following file (use ssh to connect the box):

/var/lib/proxmox/templates/main.cf.in

and add a line like this to the end of that file:

default_transport = smtp:10.0.0.1:25

(replace 10.0.0.1 with the IP adsress of the Proxy)

Attention: Template files are overwritten when you update the Software. So you need to re-add those modification after updates.

Best regards,

Dietmar

Hi,

We use also use a config like that and (must) use a upstream mail-proxy.
We would like it if such a feature could be implemented thru the webinterface (and saved in backup-config)

(I will p.m. martin a visio)

Ok, I added a 'smarthost' option to the web interface (Configuration/MailProxy/Options/Smarthost). So V1.5 will have that feature (we will release version 1.5 soon).

Best regards,
