Sending emails through another ip address [SOLVED]

[robertvon]

Hi all,
sorry if this question has already been answered.
I tried searching but couldn't find answers.

Is there a method to send emails through a different ip address, perhaps specifying which domains should go through that address?
I tried following these instructions for postfix:
https://docs.iredmail.org/send.out.emai ... esses.html
but they don't work with Zimbra.
Thanks to whoever points me in the right direction

What's the reason for wanting to do this, what problem are you trying to solve?

[robertvon]

Hi, thx for your answer.
The ip address of the server is in the Microsoft blacklist, so I added a second network card assigning
a second ip and I would like mail directed to Microsoft domains (outlook.com, live.com etc.) to be sent through the second ip

[phoenix]

The question you should ask is: why is my IP on a Microsoft blacklist? When you've done that you can try and resolve the problem.

Do you have a fixed IP address for your internet connection? Do you mean that your second NIC will have a public IP address? Do you have valid (and correct) public DNS records plus a reverse DNS for your mail server?

[robertvon]

Thank you Phoenix for your interest.
The answer is yes to all.
The main IP of the server is on a Microsoft Blacklist because an account was compromised and sent spam. (and yes, I've subscribed
Microsoft SNDS service to monitor my IP addresses)

Dear,

You can do zimbra smtp relay to the relay service provider. Like sendinblue.

For anyone interested I solved the problem in this way on Zimbra 8.8.x
1) add a second nic to your system or add an ip address on your existing nic
2) modify /opt/zimbra/common/conf/master.cf.in adding an alternative smtp service like this:
alt-smtp unix - - n - - smtp
-o smtp_bind_address=YOURALTERNATIVEIPADDRESS
-o syslog_name=postfix/alt-smtp
3) Create the following file /opt/zimbra/common/conf/alternative_tranports.pcre and enter the domains or full addresses for which you want the alternative ip address to be used, for example:
/@example\.com$/ alt-smtp:
4) as zimbra user execute zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaTransportMaps "pcre:/opt/zimbra/common/conf/alternative_tranports.pcre proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf"
5) as zimbra user execute zmcontrol restart

I've done as is written here and it doesn't work

1. Additional IP is added on interface
2. On the end of /opt/zimbra/common/conf/master.cf.in I've added:
martel12 unix - - n - - smtp
-o smtp_bind_address=89.174.13.12
-o smtp_helo_name=lk.net.pl
-o syslog_name=postfix/martel12
3.
zimbra@mail:~$ zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep zimbraMtaTransportMaps
zimbraMtaTransportMaps: pcre:/opt/zimbra/common/conf/alternative_tranports.pcre proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf
zimbra@mail:~$

4.
zimbra@mail:~$ cat /opt/zimbra/common/conf/alternative_tranports.pcre
/\@lk\.net\.pl$/ martel12:
zimbra@mail:~$

5. zmcontrol restart

And still email goes from default IP.
This is Zimbra 8.8.15 FOSS.
What can be wrong here ?
Thank you for answer in advance.

I noticed that orig packages on Ubuntu have separate package "postfix-pcre" while I have installed just "zimbra-postfix" and "zimbra-postfix-logwatch" packages so maybe they don't support PCRE ?

[loocek]

Does anybody know any other way to send emails from some domain from other IP address ? In fact I think this is quite important feature for mail server and I'm suprised there isn't any official option for this in GUI or similar - because it should be.
