Smtproutes
From SME Server
Jump to navigationJump to searchTo use an external mail server to deliver mails to some domains, but use the built-in mail server for delivering mails to all other domains, you should:
- In server-manager choose "E-mail" under menu heading "Configuration", and choose "Change e-mail delivery settings"
- Fill out the entries under "SMTP server": Address of the external mail server, and – if needed – the user id and password to use for getting access to the external mail server
- If you need to use a special port (e.g. 587) on the external mail server:
$ /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtp-auth-proxy PeerPort 587
- It may be advisable to also do:
$ /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtp-auth-proxy Debug enabled
This will show the communication with the external mail server, helping solve potential problems regarding login etc. - Create a custom-template for
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes
, e.g. the file/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/smtproutes/01custom
with a content like this:
onedomain.com:localhost:26
anotherdomain.org:localhost:26
with one line for each domain, for which you want to use the external mail server $ signal-event email-update
