hello everyone,

after 2 months trying to learn the endian firewall community software, still i haven't been able to get the smtp proxy to work to get the spam filter to work.

can someone please help me to get the smtp proxy working for me?

currently I have added port 25 under both "port forwarding" and "outgoing traffic" so i can send and receive emails.

when i turn on the smtp under proxy no email can be send and receive

under smtp proxy i have the following settings:

configuration:

green = transparent mode
red = active
filter mail for spam is checked

black & whitelists:
no settings were added here

incoming domains:
my email server domain (xyz.com) Mailserver ip (local ip address of my email server)

mailing routing:
no settings were added here

advanced:
no settings were added here

Connection refused)" or "(delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused)" status.

The workaround I found is to run sa-update once and then use the restartsmtpscan.py script again. now spam filter for smtp (amavis) is running - but nowi can't send and receive emails when remove the port forwarding for smtp

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing this.  I upgraded hardware and decided to do a fresh install.  After setting up the efw the firewall began doing the same thing as mentioned above and I did notice the following in the logs (thank you devs for the Live Logs)

And of course when checking the system status page amavis is not running.  I'm going to try this and see what I get.

I'm having a similiar problem. My AMAVIS is running but it seems like nothing is passing through the smtp proxy. I can send and recieve without issue.

I set the following
GREEN = Transparent, (tried active too)
RED = inactive (tried active)

I put a bypass from <my mail server> because I was not able to send email without it. If im correct this should only bypass outbound from my mail server, not inbound.

I also added all my incoming domains

nothing else was configured. Am I missing something?

to test I set tag and mark down to 0 to try to tag everything but that didnt work, nothing was tagged.

Also checked the logs and didnt see anything passing

Checked the graphs and 0 messages sent and received.
