how do i configure my UTM to be a simple SMTP Proxy?

jmtheron
Here is the email account that i use:
Email address: username@india.com
SMTP server: smtp.india.com 
port:25
normal password Auth

I have set the following settings:
Email Protection/Global> Simple Mode
Email Protection/Routing/Domain> india.com
Email Protection/Routing/Route by: Static Host list
with smtp.india.com as a DNShost

Email Protection/Routing/Relaying/Host-based relay> 
i added the internal network that im sending mail from.

Email Protection/Routing/Advanced> 
Transparent mode is enabled.
Allow SMTP traffic for listed hosts/nets in enabled

I have not changed any settings on the client side it is using this settings as smtp server
Email address: username@india.com
SMTP server: smtp.india.com 
port:25
normal password Auth


Emails that i send from my internal network goes and sits on the UTM SMTP Spool. How do i get the UTM release the mail?[:S]

    You might look in the SMTP log again.  I've been gone for awhile, but it appears that you may be using the proxy incorrectly for what you want to accomplish.  Instead, I would put the ISP's mail server in the 'Smarthost settings' on the 'Advanced' tab, allow the 'Internal (Network)' in 'Host-based relay' on the 'Relaying' tab and don't bother putting anything on the 'Routing' tab.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi,
    it doesn't defeat the proxy at all. If you have the proxy in transparent mode it will pickup smtp traffic and then handle it. Please read the help screens on the smtp pages they will explain it to you.

    From my experience with the proxy it has to do with the ISP mail server and authentication. You should be pointing you outlook smtp at the mailserver of your ISP, not as I suggested in a previous post. I get varied results, but I think that more to do with my mail setup on the MAC.
