EFA in front of hMailserver

[craigfanman]

Hi. I run an hmailserver and have been having problems with outgoing spam, have been advised to try EFA project. I've got this installed fine but I dont really understand how to connect it to my existing mailserver? I'm guessing I'd have to do something like point my mail domain to the new EFA IP, and then EFA routes emails to the mail server IP? Is this correct? If anyones got any advice or tutorials would be appreciated, thanks.

EFA-Configure is your friend here.

The Mail Settings is what you want to focus on.

Mail settings

1) Outbound mail relay <-- define your mail domain here if you want to send outbound via eFa
2) Outbound smarthost
3) Admin Email
4) Transport settings <--- define your mail server here
5) Postmaster Email

e) Return to main menu

Make sure your MX records point to eFa, that the firewall you may have allows port 25, and that a forward and reverse DNS record exist (public facing) for eFa.
