Exchange - send connector nightmare!
-
hi all,
i have made port forward's for the following on my pfsense firewall -
submission/587 - redirected to my email server
smtp/25 - redirected to my email server
https/443 - redirected to my email server
having done that i have changed my "send connector" to use port 587 using this command -
Set-SendConnector "Your SMTP Send Connector" -Port 587
the reason being is from the internet if i run a telnet command i cant connect to my mail server using 25 but i can when i change it to 587, it says 220 my mail server is ready
i have left all my default receive connectors alone apart from the "default fronted" i clicked on accept "anonymous users"
i can receive mail from my gmail on OWA but i cannot send from OWA
i have been trying to figure this out and working on it for a week and it really annoying
is there anyway i could get this to work without having to use a smart host to send my mails through?

what about if i port forward the source port 25 to nat to destination port 587 and redirect to my exchange server, will i then be able to send?

Do you have a business grade connection? Many providers are blocking smtp on consumer lines. It's worth calling your ISP to verify.

im going to call them tonight to find out as i defiantly cannot telnet to my smtp port 25
maybe i need to add my ISP or google dns servers to my domain controller as forwarders?

Set-SendConnector "Your SMTP Send Connector" -Port 587
do you use a smart host? set-sendconenctor modifies the port of the destination - so instead of my.dest.mail.server:25 you get my.dest.mail.server:587, but you usually can't send emails without authentification with port 587
