Being explicit with the hostname is IMHO better than relying on RDNS.

Ok, that I understand.



Using smtps, the connection is encrypted.

Yes, I know. The thing that troubles me now is that I don't get why I could place tls after the host declaration.

action "relay" relay host smtp+tls://blackblock.22decembre.eu:10027 tls pki dina protocols secure src 2603:c026:306:9211::300

I thought that I was initiating a starttls connection to blackblock, and

According to https://pastebin.com/nAKFADH9 (listen on $ip6 inet6 port 10027) blackblock only accepted connections _without_ encryption.

provided dina's tls cert, so both hosts were authentified, and the connection could not be anymore secure.

Warning: You don't have authentication between blackblock and dina! (That is why you need 2603:c026:306:9211::300 in your <localnet> table.) Even with "verify". All that does is: "Yep, I know and trust that CA."

Authentication is a different "beast". Whether you want or need to introduce it is another topic. Just remember for now, that the transactions are not authenticated.


Well, now I think I got it running like I want, and in the next days, I will tighten again the firewalls.

I will maybe document that setup on my blog, as much to help other as myself.

I wish to thank you.
