Topic: auto relay from other network...

[veoroj]

Hi! I've just setup a SME 7.0 Server and Gateway mode. Is there any way to configure its SMTP auto relay because all of our company branches from remtoe networks can't send emails using their outlook. I enabled its smtp-auth-proxy and start it as a service but it wont work.

Please help!

Just in case... How have you configured Outlook?  You need to use port 465 and do a little tweaking - Outlook does not provide you with correct configuration out of the box for this job.   There are at least a couple of postings and howtos (if my memory serves me well) on contribs on this topic, do a search.  If you hit a brickwall, lety me know, I will try to find it for you.  All the best.  chris

Also note that Outlook send test email with no date header, sme7 block them...

what im planning to use is to have a pop before smtp feature. My configuration shows:

config show smtpd
smtpd=service
    Authentication=enabled
    Instances=40
    InstancesPerIP=5
    MaximumDateOffset=0
    PatternsScan=enabled
    Proxy=enabled
    TCPPort=25
    TCPProxyPort=25
    VirusScan=enabled
    access=public
    status=enabled
    tnef2mime=enabled

I used port 465 on my outlook but still wont work.

Have you checked bug http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383
Settings are:
2) Setting Outlook for SSMTP using Port 465 requires some care, especially
since the test facility provided by Outlook is of no use with SME7.  So its a
hit and miss business.   The catch here is to:
(i) Enable authentication for SMTP in Outlook "Outgoing Server panel" and click
" Use same settings as my incoming mail server".
(ii) Enabling SSL for Outgoing server in Outlook "Advance panel"
(iii) And change Port 25 to Port 465 - Outlook forgot about this one.

And when you test, do no rely on Outlook test email, iot does not work...
Send a real mail to a valid account.
Hope it helps.
