How to set up Plesk Postfix SMTP Relay

Setting up an SMTP relay on Plesk with Postfix is an easy task with a little help from our in-house experts. The prerequisites for the process include the following:

• The hostname of the SMTP server responsible for relaying mail for the mail server.
• SSH login details of the server.

Let’s take a look at setting up SMTP relay in order to send outgoing mail to a particular server in charge of handling the mail delivery to recipients:

1. To begin with, we have to log in as root with the SSH login details.
2. Then, we have to update the Postfix configuration with these commands:

   postconf -e 'relayhost = [smtprelay.snel.com]:587'
   postconf -e 'smtp_tls_security_level = may'
3. Finally, restart the mail server with this command:

   service postfix restart

After following the above steps, the mail server is set up with SMTP relay to send outgoing mail to a particular server in charge of handling the mail delivery to recipients.

If you run into trouble with any of these steps, drop us a comment or contact our Live Chat support agents to get you back on track.
