sorry for overlooking to answer in https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cluster-can-support-20000-mailbox.98917/#post-428611

see: https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmgconfig_template_engine

you need to edit the master.cf.in template:

mkdir /etc/pmg/templates
cp /var/lib/pmg/templates/master.cf.in /etc/pmg/templates

then edit the file and replace each occurrences of `[% pmg.mail.int_port %]` by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25 (replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your internal ip and replace all occurrences of `[% pmg.mail.int_port %]` by the other ip:25

then `pmgconfig sync -restart 1`


I hope this helps!

hello,
This is for one interface `[% pmg.mail.int_port %]`, for the outbound which one should I edit?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

for the outbound which one should I edit?

this is the one for the outbound mail service (port 26)

the inbound one is ... pmg.mail.ext_port

I hope this helps!

so i need to edit pmg.mail.ext_port with the ip of the interface_1 to handle outbound
and pmg.mail.int_port with the ip of interface_2 to handle inbound is that correct?

sounds correct - just try it - and post logs if it is not working as you expect

it says that after I did this:

I did specify inbound and outbound ib the file /var/lib/pmg/templates/master.cf as you suggested, now I want to add a third interface for management, where should I specify this?

This has nothing to do with the mail-system - meaning - you can add it like with any other Debian system:
* configure it in /etc/network/interfaces
* make sure your firewall policies are setup correctly

There are quite a few tutorials online about how to get those things done

I hope this helps!

we need the mngmt interface for web access to manage consol of the appliance it self, this is doable just by modifiying the /etc/network/interfaces file?
