Hi all,

I have Xeams running fine at another location for a while, so I am familar with its operation. That location Xeams is running on its own box and not using any certificates.

I am now attempting to run Xeams on a server that also has Smartermail email server running on it. The connection is fine except for 2 issues, as determined by MXtoolbox.com

Smartermail is working perfectly by itself with TLS/SSL and no open relay. When I use Xeams, I get no TLS and an open relay.

The certificate was entered into the keystore on Xeams, but I have no way of verifying that it is actually installed. Not sure why I get an open relay with Xeams.

I am only using Xeams as a firewall with just the SMTP proxy server on because I only want incoming messages checked.

The other question is, do I need to have all the users on the email server in Xeams as well if I am only using the SMTP proxy? That would be a task with over 200 users. My other Xeams setup uses Exchange with Active Directory, so the users came over easily, but there I am also only using the SMTP proxy for incoming.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. If Xeams had single incident tickets, I would use that. $799 is not doable for me.

As far as the TLS issue goes. Xeams does not respond with "250-STARTTLS" indicating TLS support in the message header.

I have starttls enabled and my certificate in the keystore.

How do I do this?

I solved the TLS issue. You have to install the certificate, then enter a port number in the 'secure web server port', then restart Xeams.

As for the open relay. That problem seems to have gone away when I reinstalled Xeams. probably some setting, not the 'closed relay' setting in SMTP server config. I do not use the SMTP Server
