Re: [SOGo] sendmail using external smtp with multiple users

Hello Christian,

Thank you for your reply.

Well I did try that, but for some reason my service providers smtp server did not allow the connection. ‎Will try again for test reasons. 

But the bigger concern is security. Ssl doesn't seem to be supported, and communicating email and password in plain seems dangerous. 
Unless I am missing something. 

I did not specify, the service provider's smtp server is a remote server. 

Am I founded in my concerns ? 

Kind regards,

Hi Alexander

my suggestion is to allow SOGo to connect to the outgoing smtp by settings

    SOGoSMTPAuthenticationType = PLAIN; // only supports plain
    SOGoSMTPServer = "IP.OF.SMTP.SERVER";

this way you don't have to use sendmail on your local server, the settings can be set global and for each domain

Regards

Hello,

I am currently setting up a Sogo groupware server, and I am having some issues
with the smtp server.
I opted to use our website host's imap and smtp server with Sogo.
I am able to receive emails however when I follow tutorials to setup sendmail
with and external smtp server, I find that once the email is sent, the
information used to identify sogo for the smtp server is used as the sender
for the email. It makes sense.

My question is how to I configure sendmail to send using the id of the actual
person writing the email? Or is there a setting within the sogo configuration
files that sets the sender id to the user writing the email rather that the
smtp user name?

Ps: our service providers smtp login information is an email.

Thank you for any assistance you may provide.

Alexander
