MTA mode - no outgoing mails

Berni Hansmann

Hi,

I have a problem getting emails out using mta-mode.
In legacy-mode everything works fine.

When I activate mta-mode incoming mails are working fine,
but our exchange gets an error forwarding mails to our smarthost:

451 5.7.3 require basic authentication


I configured the sendconector to use the XG as smarthost with a user configured
on the XG

On the XG I configured the settings for smarthost and relay with these tutorials:
community.sophos.com/.../127585
community.sophos.com/.../125596

but still get the error.


Is there a docmentation or guide how to configure the XG and Exchange-Server?


Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Berni,

    Would it be possible to enable the Support Access tunnel on your device and PM me with the Access ID for further investigation?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I finally got this working.

    After a firmware-update I configured MTA mode completely new.

    We decided to give up the smarthost. It´s easyier to use the XG for sending mails.

    Here is what I did:

    Enable MTA-Mode
    Go to relay-settings 
    Host based relay (Allow) -> Exchange-SRV
    Host based relay (Block) -> All
    Upstream Host (Allow) -> All

    Go to policies -> Add Policy -> SMTP...
    Domain -> yourdomain.com
    Route by -> Static Host -> Exchange-SRV
    Enable SPAM/Malware/File Protection

    On the Exchange-SRV:
    Create a new send-connector
    Mails via Smarthost -> IP of the XG
    no Authentication

    Change MX-Record for yourdomain.com to the public IP from the XG.


    I hope this may help others in the future.
    If I missed or misconfigured something feel free to answer.

     

    Regards,
    Berni
