@sotneStatue @midka That is cool. Does it has a setting to setup an SMTP relay for sending?

@jason123santa @sotneStatue @midka you can add a relay through the web GUI, but it doesn't bring the relay. You'd need a relay somewhere e.g. St your provider.

@jason123santa @sotneStatue @midka

After some thought I solved the problem differently when I started with yunohost. I decided against a relay host, because the mainenance work would have been higher than for a simple vpn gateway.

My internet router has got a wireguard connection to a system running on an IP good for sending email and I configured policy routing to route any outgoing smtp connection through the vpn and over the known good IP.

@jason123santa @sotneStatue @midka

If the vpn connection is not available for any reason routing falls back to my home connection and I can still deliver the emails that are accepted by the receiving end.

Incoming email can reach me over both ways while the primary mx is pointing to my home connection.
