google apps email

[ichpen]

Hi,

Does ispconfig 3 support routing to google's smtp servers? If not how would one go about doing this. I'm running on ubuntu 11.10, postfix. I basically need to offload email to google for certain domains. Not sure how easy that would be to configure.

Appreciate any tips.

What do you exactly mean by "some domains"?

I have the setup, that only in DNS I have configured the google mail servers and so it is not more in the ISPconfig (just the dns records).

Maybe I should explain myself better.

I have a ubuntu 11.10 server, ispconfig, postfix, standard stuff. I have 30 odd domains pointed to that server.

Email for most of those domains is handled by the server.

I've setup 3 domains with google apps mx records. All fine and good.

Problem is server originating email from the likes of phpmail, wordpress mail functions etc. I'd like to have this email routed through google's smtp as opposed to mine for their corresponding google apps accounts. Is this even possible on a per domain level? I know you can setup postfix to simply relay all email to a foreign smtp host.

I should mention that name server/host tables are being handled by my registrar not on the server.

Make sure you didn't create these three domaisn as email domains in ISPConfig - if you did, the ISPConfig server will feel responsible for those emails and not forward them to the correct server.

That's an excellent suggestion and low and behold it's still trying to send email from my server. Mail log attached. I've removed all traced of this domain's email settings in ispconfig.

Another question now is how to setup a relay to google's smtp servers and authenticate. I guess this is no longer ispconfig territory but I'll post anyway in case someone's done it.

sounds like an mx record issue, have have to check the domain ms records an example from a domain controlled by godaddy


20 @ alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
20 @ alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
10 @ aspmx.l.google.com
30 @ aspmx2.googlemail.com
30 @ aspmx3.googlemail.com
30 @ aspmx4.googlemail.com
10 @ aspmx5.googlemail.com

the emails need to know where to go, so I'd check where your mx records are pointing

All mx records are setup as google apps. I can send/receive email via google apps. It seems server originating email isn't doing an mx lookup. Just trying to figure out where that happens.

I've just come to the forum to find out whether this same thing is possible as all my mail is done via Google Aps

I've read that you can get postfix to relay all mail to a external server i.e. Google Apps but from what I've read it seems that any mail sent by php scripts like wordpress or vbulletin would all go via the one account as you have to log into the gmail smtp server with a account.

Is it possibe to do this on a domain level.

So that mail sent out via the php scripts would show as coming from

server@domain1.com
server@domain2.com
server@domain3.com etc etc

depending what site it was sent from.
