Multiple Domain should route to different mail provider

[buruguduy]

I have setup a test server with the following:
Virtual Host: Hyper-V Server 2016
Virtual Server: CentOS 7
Zimbra Version: Zimbra 8.7.11 OSE

Successfully created my main domain--Domain1. Routes to MailProvider1. Tested with user1@domain1.com.
Added another domain--Domain2. Should route to MailProvider2. Tested with user1@domain2.com.


In GUI => Configure => Servers => MyServer.emailserver.com => MTA, I entered server.MailProvider1.com : 587 and server.MailProvider2.com : 587 as "Relay MTA for External Delivery"
Now, after configuration, user1@domain1.com routes successfully to MailProvider1. However, user1@domain2.com sends mail, it uses MailProvider1 (it should use MailProvider2).

Blanking "Relay MTA for External Delivery," mails are deferred with "Connection timed out"

I have used the guides in https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Outgoing_S ... entication and https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Relay_per_Domain and a couple more upon research.

Running:

Code: Select all

$ postmap -q MailProvider1.domain1.com /opt/zimbra/conf/sasl_password
administrator@domain1.com:password1

Code: Select all

$ postmap -q MailProvider2.domain2.com /opt/zimbra/conf/sasl_password
administrator@domain2.com:password2

Both seemed correct.

BTW, I've also run the following:

Code: Select all

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaTransportMaps "lmdb:/opt/zimbra/common/conf/bysender,proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf

Do anyone know where I did wrong?

TIA!

BTW, thanks Synacor for bringing back the Chat module

Hi all,

I hope there's someone who can help out. I encountered the same problem like 2 years ago in another test server (Physical Ubuntu 14.04 + ZCS 8.5 I think) and gone through my notes...did the same as what I did and worked like a charm after..well, forgot to check if domain2 did route to MailProvider2, it just send outside email.

But my present test server, I did check that it routed to domain2.com routed to MailProvider1 instead of MailProvider2.

Help please.

Thanks!

hi Vhinz,

Just follow https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Relay_per_Domain and you'll be ok.

Hi ccelis5215 ,

Thanks for the response. I did follow that to no avail. My previous test about 2 years ago, it was fine (well, didn't check the message header that time), did the same steps now but couldn't make it to work. Below summarizes what I did:

In GUI => Configure => Servers => MyServer.emailserver.com => MTA, I entered server.MailProvider1.com : 587 and server.MailProvider2.com : 587 as "Relay MTA for External Delivery"
Now, after configuration, user1@domain1.com routes successfully to MailProvider1. However, user1@domain2.com sends mail, it uses MailProvider1 (it should use MailProvider2).

Blanking "Relay MTA for External Delivery," mails are deferred with "Connection timed out"

I have used the guides in https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Outgoing_S ... entication and https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Relay_per_Domain and a couple more upon research.

Running:
Code: Select all
$ postmap -q MailProvider1.domain1.com /opt/zimbra/conf/sasl_password
administrator@domain1.com:password1


Code: Select all
$ postmap -q MailProvider2.domain2.com /opt/zimbra/conf/sasl_password
administrator@domain2.com:password2


Both seemed correct.

BTW, I've also run the following:
Code: Select all
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaTransportMaps "lmdb:/opt/zimbra/common/conf/bysender,proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf



Do anyone know where I did wrong?

Thanks!

maybe you are missing this:

zmprov ms mail.xxxx.xxx zimbraMtaSmtpSaslPasswordMaps lmdb:/opt/zimbra/common/conf/relay_password

just put in there your route
postmap /opt/zimbra/common/conf/bysender

and auth
postmap /opt/zimbra/common/conf/relay_password

[buruguduy]

Hi @santec,

Yeah, I think that is what I'm missing. Have not remembered entering a value for zimbraMtaSmtpSaslPasswordMaps. I was pretty sure I am forgetting something relating to relay_password...similar to sender_dependent_relayhost_maps.

Too early to celebrate though, have something to attend to today, but time permitting, I will be getting back on my test zimbra and hopefully it would work.

Thanks a bunch!

Will post here an update, success or not.

Hello @santec,

Still no good. User1@domain2.com is still using MailProvider1 instead of MailProvider2.

BTW, I recreated from the snapshot and

Code: Select all

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaTransportMaps "lmdb:/opt/zimbra/common/conf/bysender,proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf

is not run. Do I need it? If I understand it right, the above code routes mails addressed to specific domain.

Also, if I do run

Code: Select all

$ zmprov gs mailserver.domain1.com zimbraMtaRelayHost
zimbraMtaRelayHost: MailProvider1.domain1.com:587

If I remove MailProvider1.domain1.com:587 from the Admin GUI (Relay MTA for External Delivery), mails are not delivered and stays in queue/deferred tab with "connection timed out" error. It seems that it is trying to send directly to recipient's server.

Hi community,

Just a bump-up. Luckily just a test server. I'm still unable to have domain2.com use mailprovider2.domain2.com. It is still using the mailprovider1.domain1.com (configured in GUI -- Relay MTA for External Delivery). If I decide not to put anything on it, even domain1 (along with domain2) stops external deliveries. This is even when I confugured using the previous guides at https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Outgoing_S ... entication and https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Relay_per_Domain and a couple more upon research.

Just to make it clearer (and perhaps a step closer), do I need the Relay MTA for External Delivery (zimbraMtaRelayHost) when I have sender_dependent_relayhost_maps set?


Thanks in advance.

Regards,


Vhinz
