Title: Sending mail via External Mail Account with SMTP proxy enabled
Post by: smeghead on October 08, 2013, 09:28:59 AM

Hi all

I have a client that uses their SME8 for email with smtp proxy on.  They need to be able to access an external server for inbound & outbound mail for an associated business; the mail needs to be sent from their mail server not the SME8.

Is there a config setting I can use/tweak to maintain the benefit of the proxy but also allow this email account to work as required?

TIA

Can't you still get to the external mail server on port 465 or 587?  I don't have the SMTP proxy enabled, but the code looks like it only intercepts port 25.

If not, you might be able to create a version of the Squid Proxy Bypass (http://wiki.contribs.org/Firewall#Bypass_Proxy) templates to do what you want - you'd need to create custom versions of 35SMTPProxy and 90adjustSMTPProxy in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
