Hey yall, in my smtpd.conf file I have "relay smtps://host.domain.tld"
host.domain.tld does resolve to a public IP, and this needs to be a public IP on public DNS. However, OpenSMTPd needs to relay to the local IP address of the smarthost. Since I have no DNS server running on that network, and i dont want to setup a DNS server only for OpenSMTPd, I added an enty to /etc/hosts, assigning the local IP to the FQDN. When i ping the FQDN it correctly resolves to the internal IP of the smarthost. However, OpenSMTPd ignores the entry in /etc/hosts and still tries to connect to the public IP of the host. Is this known that OpenSMTPd ingores /etc/hosts? Or is this a problem on Debian? Is there a workaround? Specifying "relay smtps://192.168.158.1" will not work, as the private IP is not part of the Cert. Can I force OpenSMTPd to use the internal IP? Can I disable Cert checking for the smarthost? Thanks!
