You want to configure the settings to route and protect emails.

Introduction

In MTA mode, XG Firewall routes emails between the mail server and the internet. When you turn on MTA mode, a firewall rule is created automatically to allow SMTP/SMTPS traffic. We recommend that you keep this rule at the top of the firewall rule table.

In this example, you configure the settings to do as follows:

Allow and protect inbound emails.
Allow outbound emails.
Enforce TLS and other security settings for incoming and outgoing emails.

Allow and protect inbound emails

You configure XG Firewall to allow inbound emails to the email domain @mycompany.com.

You allow XG Firewall to relay SMTP traffic. You create an SMTP route and scan policy to forward emails to the internal mail server. This example uses a mail server with a static IP address in the DMZ. You also specify the basic security settings.

Go to Email > General settings and click Switch to MTA mode.
Go to Administration > Device access. Turn on WAN access for SMTP relay.
Go to Email > Policies and exceptions and click Add a policy. Click SMTP route and scan.

Specify the following settings:
