SMTP Restrictions

You can enable restrictions so that messages are not accepted by Postfix when non-standard or
other disapproved behavior is exhibited by an incoming SMTP client. These restrictions provide
some protection against spam senders. By default, clients that do not greet with a fully qualified
domain name are restricted. DNS based restrictions are also available.

Understand the implications of these restrictions before you implement them. You
 might have to compromise on these checks to accommodate people outside of your
system who have poorly implemented mail systems.

Sending Non Local Mail to a Different Server

You can configure Postfix to send nonlocal mail to a different SMTP server, commonly referred to
as a relay or smart host.

A common use case for a relay host is when an ISP requires that all your email be relayed through a
designated host, or if you have filtering SMTP proxy servers.

The relay host setting must not be confused with Web mail MTA setting. Relay host is the MTA to
which Postfix relays non-local email. Webmail MTA is used by the Zimbra server for composed
messages and must be the location of the Postfix server in the Zimbra MTA package.

To use the Administration Console to configure Relay MTA for external delivery:

Admin Console:
Home → Configure → Global Settings → MTA → Network

 To prevent mail loops, use caution when setting the relay host.

Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam Protection

The Amavisd-New utility is the interface between the Zimbra MTA and Clam Anti-Virus (ClamAV)
