Topic: Question about smeserver 7 smtp configuration.

[Onizuka]

hi

i'm using sme server 7 in server mode; I have a question about e-mail

is it possible send emails from my internal users ( 123@domain.local, 345@domain.local, 789@domain.local for example ) to sme server and it trasforms all local email address into my real internet email address ( info@realdomain.com) ? A sort of funnel like this


123@domain.local | ----->
456@domain.local | -----> SME SMTP LOCAL -----> info@realdomain.com -----> SMTP INTERNET mail.realdomain.com -----> Destination
789@domain.local |------>

i'm using fetchmail for incoming emails (a ghost account that check info@realdomain.com) and it works great. What I want to do is like fetchmail but in reverse mode ....all my local emails must exit as unique  email using my external smtp account.

thanks
bye

Please read the user guide, and have a look around the server manager.

Mail for local users can be configured to be forwarded to another email address. Each user can have a different address, and of course you can use the same address for each of them - although I'm sure that would be a very unusual configuration.

I've read the user guide but you dind't understand what I mean.
I'll try to explain better. I know the existence of email forward inside User Panel, but I don't want forward my local email to another external address.
I want all emails exit as unique valid address for example info@contrib.com.
I want this because If I do what you tell me I obviously recive this error:

Connected to 127.0.0.1 but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 553 5.1.8 <123@domain.local>... Domain of sender address 123@domain.local does not exist

I have not a public IP , and i don't want to use dynamic ip as dyndns.
Think to my previously example of the funnel .... the email's domain must be authenticated otherwise the server reject the address.

My question is : sme server 7 (or with some contrib) can do this?

I want to do the same thing that NAT do with internal IP ....but this one using email address. Many internal email address become a single internet AUTHENTICATED address. Sme server must change internal sender to external working sender as info@contrib.com.

how to do this?

thx

Why not create a "virtual domain" on your server that matches the desired external domain name?  This gives all local users an alias at the virtual domain - then you setup all users to use the "realdomain" email as the email address in their email client...
