Can I still use the firewall as an SMTP relay...

predatorsw
...even when my email subscription has expired?

I've switched from using a hosted exchange server to using google apps for email, mainly so I don't have to renew my email security subscription. I have some web applications that need to be able to send email out. Currently I have it connecting directly to exchange using a dedicated email address. I'd like to possibly have it connect to the firewall instead, then have the firewall itself relay the email up to google (or possibly just send the email itself given I still have our firewall listed in our MX record).

Can I do this (sans scanning) with an expired email scanning license? What's the easiest way to set this up?

    On your next renewal, the SMTP Proxy won't be activated.

    If you want to continue to use the Exchange server to relay, you need to remove the proxy, create DNAT and PF rules and make the necessary changes in the smarthost setting in Exchange.

    Cheers - Bob

    I'm boat anchoring exchange and the computers it runs on. We switched everyone to google apps, and I'm as happy as a little girl.

    So it just gives up on SMTP proxy, instead of not scanning? I guess I'll find out on Monday after the expiration date.
