Help for SMTP Relays for external domains

[sushant.tripathi]

Hi,

I read the docs at the Zimbra Wiki
and followed these steps:

zmprov ms mail.internal.com zimbraMtaRelayHost smtpout.secureserver.net:80
echo smtpout.secureserver.net john@example.com:password > /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
postmap hash:/opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
postmap -q smtpout.secureserver.net /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
postconf -e smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
postconf -e smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
postconf -e smtp_cname_overrides_servername=no
postfix reload
postconf -e smtp_use_tls=yes
postfix reload

john@example.com is the external godaddy account which I plan to use for relaying.

I still cannot send emails to external accounts:

The error message I see is:

/var/log/zimbra.log

Jun  1 04:22:58 mail postfix/qmgr[7867]: 2C2F35838008: to=, relay=none, delay=212705, delays=212705/0.03/0/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred
(delivery temporarily suspended: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=smtpout.secureserver.net type=MX: Host not found, try again)

Also, for another ID

Jun  1 07:18:49 mail postfix/qmgr[7867]: D4AB05838002: to=, relay=none, delay=231400, delays=231348/51/0/0, dsn=4.3.0, status=defer
red (mail transport unavailable)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well according to the Wiki you should use the proper address of smtp.secureserver.net which is actually

Non-authoritative answer:
smtpout.secureserver.net	canonical name = smtpout.where.secureserver.net.
Name:	smtpout.where.secureserver.net
Address: 72.167.82.80

Right on..
I changed this via zmprov ms

still not able to send mail:

dig smtpout.secureserver.net

to make sure you DNS is actually able to resolve it.

Within the Admin GUI under the MTA tab do you have "Enable DNS Lookups" enabled ? If so, untick that, and restart ZCS.

This solved the problem, but unfortunately I still cannot send mail because of this:

Jun  1 15:41:23 mail postfix/smtp[27082]: 24E815838005: to=, relay=smtpout.secureserver.net[64.202.165.58]:80, delay=10, delays=0.04/0/9.2/0.74, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host smtpout.secureserver.net[64.202.165.58] said: 553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts. (in reply to RCPT TO command))

I realize this is not a problem with zimbra but with the godaddy SMTP server.

Does anyone have any experience with setting up relays for smtpout.secureserver.net?
