Route traffic to mail server
-
I just finished setting up my mail server (mailcow) and I can send mail no issue but when I receive mail, I see firewall entries. How do I allow and route incoming traffic to my mail server?

Back when I ran an email server you had to open port 25 in the firewall. You will be hit with a lot of email traffic once you are discovered, be ready as you will need some kind of email filtering and Pfsense does not do that. There are software packages out there. It got to be too much work after I retired. I ran Microsoft small buiness server which had a sub set of Exchange in it. -
@coxhaus how do I open this port and route traffic to the correct IP address on network?

@logodude
It need a simple Port Forwarding rule for port 25, where you WAN address is the destination and the internal server IP is the redirect target. -
I assume this is for a business as a residential isp blocks port 25
