Topic: Authenticated SMTP relay from public interface (internet)

[dhalliday]

I am looking to use my sme server (mitel free version 6.0)as my SMTP server for outgoing mail while on the road without using VPN's.

As such I was looking to configure the Qmail MTA to use authenticates sessions but this does not seem to be possible.  It looks like there is a new QMail and add ons that support this but has anyone tried this on a SME 6.0?

Does 6.5RC1 or 7B4 support this, or even still use QMail?)

Any other ideas on using my SME server as my SMTP server for roaming users while not making it an open relay?

Thanks,

Dave.

Use webmail.

Yes, yes and yes.

.. ther is an SSMTP contrib that will provide whats required

maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I dont seem to get the SSMTP working.

I've setup my Outlook as follows:
- outgoing mail requires authentication
- provided username and password
- at the advanced tab I've deselected the option to use SSL.

when I use this setup and try to send a test-mail.
everything works great (finding POP-server, finding SMTP-server, login to POP3-server) except the sending of a test-email.
The report then says: The test-message could not be sent. Check the field E-mailaddress.

sending mail using webmail works great, so it looks like it is a outlook-connectivity problem.

Anybody have any idea on what this could be?

Running SME 7B4 including all standard yum updates (no devel or test rpms etc.)

That's not compatible with 7.0beta, which already includes most (all?) that functionality.

How do you get it to work with 7.8beta?  I would like to get the same thing working for me.

If you deselect SSL, then I believe you'll be using SMTP rather than SSMTP.
