Authenticated relay

Hello everyone,

 

I moved from UTM to XG with the newest firmware (17.0.5) - so far I have created the same email settings as I had on my UTM:

Intercepting incoming emails and scan them for spam/virus.

Relay settings are also equal to my UTM:

 

host based relay: my email server

upstream host: any

user authenticate relay: my email user group.

 

Unfortunately the user based authentication is not working as expected.

Only emails to my own host name are allowed - if they need to send an email to anyone else they will receive a "relay access denied" error.

 

Does anyone have an idea how I need to configure XG to allow authenticated relays?

  • Mathias,

    Please share screenshot of what you have configured. Make sure you Sto arrivando! Using v17 mr5.

    Thanks

  • Ciao Luk,

     

    thanks for your reply - please find the screenshot of my current settings below.

    At the end I have tried everything and also allowed any user on my network - then only thing which worked so far would be acting as an open relay...

     

    Kind regards, Mathias

     

  • Mathias,

    can you explain the error? When you users send to your domains, it works, while if your internal users send email to external domains, it does not work?

    Share also the error screenshot.

    Thanks

  • Hi Luk,

     

    everything internal (LAN,DMZ, WLAN,...) works fine - they are getting to my email server which sends the outgoing emails to Sophos XG and then to a Smarthost.

    This works perfect!

     

    But I have some remote users who are not permanent logged in via a VPN connection.

    Those users should also be allowed to use Sophos as a relay (worked fine with UTM).

    The debug log says:

    If my remote user sends an email to my primary email address with my domain it works without any problems.

     

    kr, Mathias

  • Strange!

    Can you try to use a local XG user?

    Also please share error log.

    Thanks
