Configuring two smtp relay hosts

Hello all,
I am running Iplanet Messaging Server 5.2 P1.I would like to know if it is possible to add one more smtp relay to the existing setup so that there is a automatic failover from one smtp host to the other.Thanks in advance.
Regards

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but. . .
Adding another MX record to your DNS is likely to be the correct route to go. Why create a new software mechanism, when an already well-proven one exists.

  • Question on - GWIA - Relay Host for outbound messages setting

    We are being forced to use a "centralized" message relay host due to
    State mandates. So . . . most everything is working except messages
    sent to comcast.net. For some reason the GWIA is trying to communicate
    directly with comcast.net (76.96.62.116). Here is my configuration
    (all my GW systems are GW 7.0.3 lastest service patch, NW6.5SP8 server):
    PO - on its own server
    PO MTA - on its own server
    GWIA MTA and GWIA - on their own server
    GWIA is configured to use "Relay Host for outbound messages:" -
    domain.com
    The following is from my GWIA Log showing where I sent a message to my
    comcast and hotmail e-mail accounts. For some reason, the GWIA is
    trying to send my comcast.net addressed message directly to comcast
    server instead of relaying thourgh my relay host. Is there some
    setting or config file I need to look at to see how this is
    happening?????

  • Messaging Server 5.2 Multiplexor SMTP Relay

    Hi,
    We are using Messaging 5.2 on a setup consisting of one MTA relay, one Mail Store and one Multiplexor.
    Everything works almost fine, multiplexor works fine for pop and imap, but it doesnt work for smtp. Basically because we cannot found the way to enable proxy support on the smtp.
    "local.service.smtp.proxy = 1" has been enabled, but still there is no way....
    On "SmtpProxyAService.cfg" config file there is a comment about proxy smtp:
    # This is a space-separated list of SMTP relay host names.  These relays
    # MUST support the XPEHLO extension.  MMP will load-balance among these
    # hosts.  This must be non-empty for the SMTP proxy to function.But there isnt any info about how to enable the XPEHLO extension, so the smtp multiplexed connection ends with:
    error in response to XPEHLO command from wolverine.ourdomain.com: 503 5.5.0 Pr
    oxy support is not enabled.Does anyone know how can we enable that extension?
    Also there is a little trouble for defining PROXY_PASSWORD on the mail relay servers, as if we include it into imta.cnf file on tcp_local channel it says isnt a recognized option, if PROXY_PASSWORD is defined into config/tcp_local_option file there is no warning, but we are not sure if the server is reading it.
    Any help is very much appreciated,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You can get this error if the password specified in the tcp_local_option file (assuming that the connection from the MMP's comes in on tcp_local - you may need to check your mail logs) is incorrect (make sure you imsimta rebuild;imsimta restart after making changes).
    Double check that PROXY_PASSWORD=<secret> in tcp_local_option is the same as the SmtpProxyPassword option of SmtpProxyAService.cfg Also ensure that everything is in the same case (uppercase/lowercase.. including the option name such as SmtpProxyPassword).
    Cheers,
    Shane.

  • Multiple Relay Host question

    In the GWIA settings under SMTP/MIME, the "Relay Host for outbound messages" we have the address for a Cisco Ironport c170 that filters our messages.
    We want to add another Ironport for failover. If I add a second IP, can this be prioritized so the 2nd unit will only be used if the 1st is down?
    What logic will/might be used when a second relay host is used?
    Am I approaching this right or should I plan to let it send from either relay host?
    Thank you for any help you can offer.

    I Like that answer!!!
    On the Public side we are going to have different priorities on the MX Records.
    I would prefer that One Ironport get all the messages, but realize they both most likely will.
    We Quarantine all messages with attachments and manually release them "if" the recipient calls us to let us know they were expecting the message or know he sender.
    So I assume we will have to check both Ironports to see which did the quarantine.
    We will be using the Ironport Centralized Management to keep the two Ironport configurations the same.
    If you have any recommendations or tips, Please share.
    Thank You

    We are also using a clustered IronPort solution. We have both IP's

    the first IP is always used until it fails.

    We have a mac mini setup using 10.9.5 and server 3.2.2.    The mail server is OFF but we have a Relay Outgoing Mail through ISP checked (and the proper credentials for the outgoing relay (FQDN) and the authorization credentials.
    What we are trying to do
    Our mac mini runs a php script to generate an email that needs to be sent to users.   The mail has to use a smtp relay and we are trying to use the smtp relay provided by our email vendor.
    Settings required by our email vendor

    https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/1179/2175/general-c onfiguration-for-mail-clients-and-mobile-devices
    We set up the relay in Mail on the Server 3.2.2 to use SSL and port 465.  In our particular case the relay is configured as shown below.  Obviously the [email protected] is the proper username for our authorization.
    When we try to send mail (we test this function by sending mail from terminal by using the following command (sending mail to myself from myself)
    printf "Subject: TestnHello" | sendmail -f [email protected] [email protected]

    Can anyone provide some guidance?
    Regards!

    The Server GUI doesn't provide for this use case.
    Take the following steps to configure Postfix to relay mail to a remote SMTP server with password authentication over SSL. Substitute as required for strings in italics below. Address is the fully-qualified domain name of the relay host. The value of port is usually either 25, 465, or 587. Username and password refer to your credentials on the relay host.
    In the current version of OS X Server (but not necessarily in older versions), Steps 1 and 3 should be done for you when you enable relaying and relay authentication in the Server application.
    1. If necessary, create or update the relayhost directive in
         /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf
    It should look like this:
         relayhost = [address]:port
    2. Add these lines, above the section at the end that begins with the comment "# Mac OS X Server":
         smtp_sasl_security_options =
         smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem
         smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:$data_directory/smtp_tls_session_cache
         smtp_use_tls = yes
    3. If it doesn't already exist, create the password file
         /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd
    with this content:
         [address]:port
         username:password
    Here address must match $relayhost.
    Then create the password database:
    sudo postmap /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd
    This action creates the file
         /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd.db
    The two password files should be readable by root only.
    4. Create the file
         /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem
    with the CA certificate(s) to be trusted for authentication of the remote host. You get those certificates from the service provider. If you can't find a link to download them, try this:
    openssl s_client -connect address:port -showcerts < /dev/null | sed -n '/-BEGIN /,/-END /p' | sudo sh -c 'cat > /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem'
    The command may produce an error message that isn't necessarily significant. For servers that use the older STARTTLS protocol, rather than straight TLS or SSL, this command may need to be modified.
    5. Restart the Mail service.

  • GWIA Relay Host for outbound messages

    Hi,
    In GW2012 I had two relay hosts configured for outbound messages. The IP addresses were separated by a space. Since the upgrade to GW2014, I can no longer add two relay hosts in the GWIA SMTP/MIME tab. When I add the second one, separated by a space, the admin console throws an error. The error says: "Internet address provided is invalid". According to the admin guide, it should still be possible.
    How can I resolve this?

  • How to use multiple mail sending address in SMTP relay for exchange online

  • Using CUE as SMTP relay

    Hello world...
    I hope someone has an answer to this - i have gone through the CUE CLI documentation looking to config it up as an SMTP relay, and this idea does not seem like it will work.
    System is UC540 on 8.6.5
    I have a PRI with a DID block for the client - they want individual fax numbers for each person.  That part is easy enough.  They do NOT want to store it in their vociemail box.  They just want it sent to their email inbox.  They do not want to use the "listen" mode where fax and voice comes in on the same DID because the delay for the customer calling in is too great in their opinion.  This is fine.  I get it.
    However I am having a dickens of a time using the CUE to send the emails based upon the DID to the user mailbox.  I am talking about configuring a separate ephone-dn and an account on the CUE for the fax email user.  when i go this route, The sending fax machine just hangs and never successfully transmits.
    IF, however, I set the "mta send server" to my test-bench smtp relay by IP address, it all works.  Fax as email attachment comes through like greased lightning.
    I try to do it via the extension and have CUE submit it out, things just hang.
    IS THERE A WAY to configure the CUE to act as a simple SMTP relay for all things internal?
    This is the config that works for me:
    mta send server 192.168.110.25 port 25 <IP addess of my bench smtp server>
    mta send server 10.10.10.1 port 25
    mta send with-subject both
    mta send mail-from hostname LAB-UC540.lab.org
    mta send mail-from username $s$
    mta receive aliases 10.10.10.2
    mta receive maximum-recipients 7
    For the MMOIP, I have:
    dial-peer voice 3020 pots
    translation-profile incoming Lab_Fax_T37_Called_26
    service onramp
    incoming called-number 4627
    direct-inward-dial
    port 0/2/0:23
    dial-peer voice 1801 mmoip
    service fax_on_vfc_onramp_app out-bound
    destination-pattern 4627
    information-type fax
    session target mailto:[email protected]
    The above works remarkably well
    This (generic CCA config) is broken:
    dial-peer voice 3020 pots
    translation-profile incoming Lab_Fax_T37_Called_26
    service onramp
    incoming called-number 4627
    direct-inward-dial
    port 0/2/0:23
    dial-peer voice 1800 mmoip
    description ** fax onramp for outbound faxmail to CUE **
    service fax_on_vfc_onramp_app out-bound
    destination-pattern ^....$
    information-type fax
    session target mailto:[email protected]
    fax receive called-subscriber $d$
    fax interface-type fax-mail
    mta send server 10.10.10.1 port 25
    mta send with-subject both
    mta send mail-from hostname 10.10.10.2
    mta send mail-from username $s$
    mta receive aliases 10.10.10.2
    mta receive maximum-recipients 7
    Any suggestions?  Or do I build a small internal LAN smtp relay server?

    Hello,
    The CUE is used with the script for t37 - there are two approaches with fax to email.
    One is using the CUE and the other is not using CUE just to add the right information.

  • 10.3.9 - Mobile Users Authenticating for SMTP Relay.

    I hope I get my thoughts together and this question comes out right.
    I have a small shop, where most of my users are in-house. They're using Entourage clients, and my couple of PC folks are using Outlook 2003. From in-house, everyone works just fine. Relay filters are setup to allow people inside the network to send fine. I have 127.0.0.1/32 and 192.168.1.1/32 in the Mail/Settings/Filters/SMTP Relay settings.
    However, I have a couple of mobile users, the Director being one of them, who want/need to send email when outside of the office, or from a mobile device, like their Treo.
    What I'm running into is that my mobile users are having authentication issues when trying to send email while outside the office. Even when they indicate they need to authenticate SMTP from their client, I get different issues with different users.
    The Director's Treo, using Versamail, recieves email normally via IMAP. However, when sending, even though she's set to ESMTP Authentication, I get a 502 error. Without ESMTP Authentication turned on, I get a relay error.
    Mail/Settings/Advanced has LOGIN and Plain checked for SMTP Authentication, and IMAP has LOGIN, Plain and Clear checked, while POP has APOP and Clear slected.
    I'm at a loss for how to proceed with correcting this issue to allow mobile users to authenticate reliably from where ever they are. Can someone provide me some straightforward guidence on how this should be correctly configured?
    Thanks.

  • SMTP relay authentication issue with DynDNS MailHop Outbound

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the SMTP relay functionality of my OS X Server but I get following log message:
    Apr 4 21:40:21 mydomain postfix/smtp[7629]: 4EE3686F529: to=<xxxx@xxxxx>, relay=outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71]:465, delay=140731, delays=140130/0.06/600/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation with outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting)
    I configured the relay settings in Server-Admin for host: outbound.mailhop.org:465 and added my dyndns username and password.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me to figure out what I'm missing.
    Thanks

    If you're getting a 550 error then it indicates an issue with the SMTP server you're using / how you're connecting to it. Either the mail server you've got configured for SMTP isn't setup to handle email for you, or in addition to setting the server address
    in the SMTP settings, you also need to configure it to configure authentication on the email accounts. In the account settings you need to select More settings (I think, I don't have an Outlook 2007 copy to check on), then you'll see an Outgoing
    Server tab, within which you can configure the required authentication. It will either be the same as the POP3 login, in which case you can select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server", or if they're different you can enter the specific details that
    are required to send.

  • Relay Host

    Hello and thanks for taking the time to take a peek. Do you know how to set up a relay host? I checked docs.sun.com and all I got was #805-3480 Mail Administration Guide for Solaris 7 (close enought I think), but no info on making a relay host. The 805-3480 shows me the file for relay-domains for sendmail (/etc/mail/relay-domains), but not how to make a relay host. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance for helping out.

    Many thanks Massimo for the info... especially that the "Optional Gateway
    settings" are not applicable for the GWIA, since I didn't find that in the
    docu.
    Thanks,
    Mirko

  • UnityConnection 7X SMTP relay authentication?

    A site with UC 7 is looking to start using message notification via SMTP (to smartphones, misc. email accounts, etc.). 
    The on-site smart host / email relay server requires user authentication to accept and deliver mail on behalf of UnityConnection. It cannot function as an open relay even on the private network, nor accept by IP.
    Is there a way to configure an authenticating / authorizing user on UC to use when sending SMTP messages to the relay server from UC?

    That's correct, there's no way to implement authentication on the UC side for an SMTP Smart Host.
