I have two azure virtual machine.. one is Zimbra Mail Server and Another one is Proxmox mail gateway.

I have installed and configured properly as per my knowledge,

PROXMOX mail gateway server is refusing connection to port 26, external port 25 is ok !

i am trying to relay my mails from zimbra mail server which is in the same LAN, i.e. local/internal network. i am trying to telnet or send mail from zimbra to Proxmox mail gateway but proxmox is actively refusing connection on port 26. Please suggest what actually i am missing.

FYI, i have already deployed test environment on my local machine using hyper v , that test was successful..

the difference is that time i had installed proxmox mail gateway from the ISO file .. now i have proxmox VM on azure which is installed Above Debian Linux 12 using proxmox repositories.

I have attached some screens please have a look and suggest !

a) pmg-smtp-filter service is failed - so processing won't work
b) there is nothing listening on port 26 - how did you install the PMG - did you reboot at any point after the installation?

i have installed simply using debian repositories, previously i was able to get it work while installing from ISO.. but this time i am using Azure VM .. there i cant use ISO for installation, so just created Debian 12 VM and installed over it using apt repositories.

yes i have rebooted multiple times.. for service to run or apply my some settings.
 
check the journal after a reboot - share it if you don't find the problem...
 
please post the complete journal for the boot as text file:
* journalctl -b > journal-$(uname -n).txt

from the screenshot I see that you need to run sa-update at least (which ist still strange)

also post:
`pmgversion -v`
