I have a new server that has a really low mail volume (e.g. 1-10 mails per day) and it is causing me headaches with Microsoft (Hotmail, live, outlook) delivery. For example their tools only start working from 500 daily volume.
For the next 6-12 months I would like to have these mails send through another DA server. Now I did find the following tutorial: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=153. However I am unclear about about quite a few areas
-what sort of authentication do I need to set in order for the other DA server to accept it?
-do I need to make changes on the larger server to accept these mails?
Is there anyone that is willing to get me started? Maybe someone has done this and he/she can post an example smart_route?
edit: I think I am getting somewhere. However my other DA server is not accepting relay without AUTH. So far I have not been able to figure out how to whitelist a single ip OR setup auth.
