Set up SMTP relay

[thebrownieable]

Hi guys,

I have default DirectAdmin installation and want to set up SMTP relay to send emails via Mandrill because currently emails are not working reliably and clients keep complaining. Could you advice me on where should I start? I found tutorial for Postfix only but since DirectAdmin does not support that, being a newbie I am kind of lost now.

Any help or a starting point would be much appreciated!

hi,
i use this help but encountered with this error:

router auth_relay: cannot find router driver "smtp"

smart_route:
     driver = manualroute
     domains = ! +local_domains
     ignore_target_hosts = 127.0.0.0/8
     condition = "${perl{check_limits}}"
     transport = auth_relay
     route_list = * smtp.myisp.com::587
     no_more
auth_relay:
    driver = smtp
    port = 25
    hosts_require_auth = $host_address
    hosts_require_tls = $host_address
auth_login:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = LOGIN
    hide client_send = : [email protected] : mypassword

tnx all.

Just had the same error, you get this when you place the auth_relay: and auth_login: just below the smart_route:, but you actually need to place them at the right places;

auth_relay below remote_smtp: (a 'transport')

and

auth_login below login: (an 'authenticator').
