SMTP proxy for port 587 (gmail)

Dougga · #1 (**permalink**) 01-14-2010, 01:25 AM

Since the late 90's port 587 has been recommended for mail submission instead of port 25 per RFC 2476 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2476.txt).

I'm trying to figure out how I can configure ASG/L so that mail passing through the device is handled as all other traffic that is using port 25: eg. Mail Manager, SMTP Log, Mail Quaranteen by user, Single or Dual Scan, SMTP Profile use.

Is this possible? If not, is it planned?

Example: Remote client (non-browser) access to Gmail uses this port.
Here is Google's help page for setting up Outlook 2007:

Thanks,

So, do you have an internal mail server? Is it currently configured to send on port 587? To receive on 587? Does your ISP require you to use a smarthost that uses port 587?

Verizon has blocked outgoing port 25 to help cut down spam. Since then my backups and notifications have stopped.

Is the Management/Notification\Advanced tab where we can tell Astaro to use port 587?

What exactly is a smarthost?

I think this is what he is asking, if not, sorry for the hijack!

He probably wants to know if there is a way to enhance the transparent SMTP proxy to listen not only to outgoing port 25 connections but also to those going out via port 587.

This is - at least up to my knowledge - not possible nor planned for future.
