Manage Smart Hosts
- Smart hosts are an intermediate mail server that receive mail from an SMTP server and, after applying their own policy, forward them to end-user mail boxes.
- Smart hosts require authentication from the sender to verify that the sender is allowed to forward mails through the smart host. This differs from an open mail relay which forwards mail directly to the recipient server without authentication.
- Please note that a domain added under 'Managed Domains' cannot be added for 'Smart Host' routing.
- The interface also allows admins to configure default domain routing.
- This applies to 'Managed Domains' whose routing has not been configured. See 'Manged Domains' section for more details.
To open the 'Smart Hosts' screen
- Click 'SMTP' > 'Domains' on the left
- Click the 'Smart Hosts' tab.
