Hello,

An customer has an connection to the spam firewall but he wants to use his own hostname (anti-spam.domain.com) which is different from the configured domain name.
This is ofcourse working, but some checks complain about the SSL certificate on the hostname (which is normal, as it differs).

How can i add this in a good way, so the PMG handles the email for him in a correct way and has a valid SSL?

Thanks.

which checks complain exactly (knowing this would help to know what path makes most sense to improve it)

this is quite well explained in the reference documentation:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_certificate_management

without further details I'd say - check out the integrated ACME implementation - and just add both domain-names to the certificates.

I hope this helps!

Hi Stoiko,

Thanks for your reply.

The site who complains is checktls.com
All is green accept the cert part.

Code:
Certificate #1 of 4 (sent by MX): EXPIRED

Cert VALIDATION ERROR(S): certificate has expired

So email is encrypted but the recipient domain is not verified

Cert Hostname DOES NOT VERIFY (anti-spam.externaldomain.com != mx-1.pmgserver.nl | DNS:mx-1.pmgserver.nl)

So email is encrypted but the host is not verified

Not Valid Before: Nov 12 23:45:05 2021 GMT

Not Valid After: Feb 10 23:45:04 2022 GMT

The certificate on anti-spam domain is valid though. I checked that.

I already added the domain to the SSL manager in pmg but the test keeps yelling this :(
 
Cert VALIDATION ERROR(S): certificate has expired
If you're using ACME then it seems that the automatic renewal does not work (or that you did not select SMTP and API for the Let's encrypt certificate usage - see the documentation I linked)
 
Hi Stoiko,

I understand but problem is the ssl seems to be working and is valid. Only the check states otherwise
