[SOLVED] How can I relay ALL mails (even internal ones)

[gagga]

Hi,
I am a happy admin of Zimbra OSE 5.0.16 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I have setup Zimbra to work with fetchmail, integrate with samba and send emails via an external mail relay.
All of this works perfectly fine :-)
Now I need to send ALL emails via the external relay server. Even the "internal" ones which are normally handled by zimbra itself. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Ciao,
Gagga

in the admin interface under server config and mta tab ther eis a spot for 2 mta servers. one is for external delivery and one is marked 'webmail mta hostname' i think you want to change that one.

Thanks bdial. I tried to change it but it always reverts back to "localhost". Any idea?

I found a way to do this setting: In global settings there is also a MTA section. I changed the webmail MTA there and afterwards I could also set it in the section you mentioned.
Unfortunately it tries to send to the relay without doing proper authentication. How can I enable authentication for the webmail relay MTA?

Local mail will be handled by the Zimbra server, it doesn't make sense to relay local mail to an external server to deliver it to a local mailbox - why would you even want to do that?

Surely the use of Wiki :: Postfix Transport Tables would handle this requirement

I need that during a server migration while a few users will continue to be on another server. I fully agree that it does not make sense in general although I have seen more than one organisation relaying their internal email to an outside server...
So is there a way to do that?

Hi uxbod,
I tried a setup with transport tables but Zimbra still delivers the internal messages directly.

Here is my setup:

• Zimbra is handling domain mydomain.com
• All Emails (even internal ones) need to be sent via the server authmailonline.kundenserver.de
• The server authmailonline.kundenserver.de needs SMTP authentication which has already been configured properly
• I have created a file /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/1und1transportfile with content

  mydomain.com :[authmailonline.kundenserver.de]

• I have created the hash map by doing postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/1und1transportfile
• The transport file and the hash map are owned by rootostfix
• zmlocalconfig |grep -i postfix_transport_maps gives me

  postfix_transport_maps = hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/1und1transportfile,proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf

As I can see in /varlog/mail.log Zimbra is still deliverting directly:

I have read the postfix documentation and also tried these as the contents of /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/1und1transportfile:

• mydomain.com smtp:[authmailonline.kundenserver.de]
• mydomain.com relay:[authmailonline.kundenserver.de]
• * :[authmailonline.kundenserver.de]

None of them works. It seems that Zimbra is not actually prepending the transport map file. Do you have any idea? Thanks!

[gagga]

Does Zimbra define a virtual map which gets evaluated before the transport map?

Hi,
can a zimbra employee please shed some light on this? Thanks.
