SMTP Authentication

[ferra]

I have Zimbra setup and running. Everything works fine except for the remote users.
I have some users outside the LAN connected via ADSL. I need to configure outlook to send email through the zimbra mail server.
Mynetworks are for local networks for securityu reasons.
i need to configure in outlook smtp : zimbra.domain.com, with authentication .

configuration is:

zmprov gs zimbra.domain.com |grep Auth
zimbraMtaAuthEnabled: TRUE
zimbraMtaAuthHost: zimbra.domain.com
zimbraMtaAuthURL: http://zimbra.domain.com/service/soap/
zimbraMtaTlsAuthOnly: TRUE

zmprov gs pinus.dgrf.min-agricultura.pt |grep Mode
zimbraMailMode: https

The idea is to configure in outlook to have
My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
Use same settings as my incoming mail server

I have in the server:
Enable authentication
TLS authentication only

but is not working

Any idea?

Why do you not believe the answer I've already given you? Perhaps I'm not explaining myself clearly enough?

Hi
sorry but do know an application called msmtp it is a smtp client and it send mail
from from any computer that it is installed on using any open mail server to send mail and if there is no authentication it will send alot of mails under my nose and i wont know until my server is blacklisted,
if you dont beleive me give me a mail server that doesnt have smtp authentication enabled on it and i will send you a mail from it

You are testing msmtp on your server and you have the 'client' installed on your LAN?

[ay4you]

i am not testing it i use it for some of our applications to send mails.
its easy to use and it doesnt disturb the services on the server
and i tested it and it sent a mail easily
Plus im a contactor my clients request it be turned on

.... and the question was, you tried this from your LAN?

Just for clarification, it's not an SMTP client it's a normal mail client just the same as Outlook, Thunderbird etc. they are normal mail clients that send through Port 25.

Did you actually check the link I gave you for testing if your server is an Open Relay? What were the results?

[ay4you]

i did send it from my system in the office
and i checked the open relay stuff and all tested fine
but as i said i send mails from my system without any authentication

Well, of course you do. Your system is in the Trusted Network and anyone in YOUR Trusted Network can send mail to the outside world without authentication - they are the only people that can send and that's why, when an external user authenticates (he becomes part of the Trusted Network because he's connected to your server on the LAN) he can send mail outside your network.

I would be interested in the link "Open Relay" to check my zimbra system.

Thank you.
