I want to use MaiB as SMTP relay for other web services, I have created a user abc@domain1.com then I used this user to authenticate as SMTP relay. Nothing happened
What the App does, it sent emails from few domains, let’s say info@domain2.xyz and info@domain3.net. Am I configured it wrong since the App should send email from the authenticated domain!
Noooo. That’s a very quick way to becoming a spam relay.
You’d be amazed at how quickly that can happen. Have a look through the mail logs (in /var/log), all those failed logins are bots looking for servers that will relay spam.
I run an instance of this SMTP relay in docker to do exactly this for my printer but it is only accessible locally to prevent abuse. It has been working great.
