Scalix Forums

We use an application that sends out an administratitve email. However, it does it in a relay type of fashion. No external email server accepts it because of the 550 Error (relaying is not accepted by our servers) message.

Thus, I pointed it to the local Scalix install, and still get the same message from it.

Is there a way to permanately accept email relays from a certain domain?

Thanks.

Take a look at the comments in the file /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg as this gives examples of what you can do. You will need to stop and restart the SMTP Relay if you make any changes to this file.

However, anti-spam controls are there for a reason. If you open up the SMTP Relay to allow a certain domain, that means anyone from that domain can send a message.

My advice would be to keep the controls in place and have the application authenticate. You will need to add a dummy mailbox within Scalix but this would just be for the purposes of authentication.
