mail usage

Hi,

We have for sometimes now move to Office365, but when get a daily report from utm, under the mail usage I can see 7 or 8 mails! if I go to the mail manger I cannot trace those email address!

We dont have any exchange server behind the UTM.

What this means?

 

Thanks

  • What do you see on the SMTP tab of Mail Manager?

    Why is the SMTP Proxy enabled if you're using Offfice365?

  • We just left it on for the time being, our mail license will expire soon and we will disable the proxy.

    The strange part is when I check the mail manager I can see only the daily reports that utm sending us.

    Question remaining is what are those emails? the senders are all known to us.

  • You need to disable the SMTP Proxy while you still have a license that allows you to access that part of WebAdmin.

  • Thank you Bob,

    We will do that.

    But before doing so, we have a virtual SMTP in LAN that our websites using it to send newsletters, and when I check the relay section of the mail protection see this smtp server there,
    Now when we disable the smtp proxy, do we need to create a firewall rule to allow smtp connection from that virtual SMTP to out side? currently all out going traffic is allowed.

    Thanks

  • Is the SMTP Proxy running in Transparent mode, or does your newsletter mailer use the UTM as a smart host?

  • The SMTP porxy is in simple mode. the virtual smtp server does not use the UTM as smart host. we have just added the smtp server to the Host-realy section of utm

    Surely there must be some where that we can see from where those mails are beening send right? in the mail manager I cannot find nothing.

  • If the SMTP Proxy is not in Transparent mode and your mailing server does not use the UTM as a smart host, the emails are not being relayed off the SMTP Proxy.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Thank you again for your reply,

    Yes we dont use SMTP in Transparen mode and the virtual smtp dons not use the UTM as smart host.

    Dont you think a bit strange that sometimes we see mail usage at utm!!? the last mail usage is from last Sunday.

     

    Thanks

  • I would expect to see activity every time the UTM sends a notification.

    Cheers - Bob
