Question SMTP relay?

[JohnBee]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.62 Update #1

I would like to enable smtp relay with Plesk, and found the following tutorial; https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...to-configure-an-external-SMTP-server-in-Plesk

Though unlike the screenshots, I cannot seem to be able to select IMAP and SMTP relay, as the system will force either or;

That said, anyone know how to do this?

Not possible
MSMTP only works when no mail service is installed and active on the server.

Just keep using Postfix and configure the "relayhost" parameter in /etc/postfix/main.cf to achieve what you are looking for-

Hello. Seems that the setting "MSMTP (relay only)" is currently active. However, I assume that you want to send emails from your Plesk server using a relay like mailgun/sendgrid/sparkpost/etc. For that, you'll need Postfix+Dovecot + some manual configuration as per https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377374645655

MSMTP is relay ONLY, which means there won't be any local mailboxes IMAP/POP3 could serve, and without those, there aren't any accounts that could send email. In that case, there would only be emails generated on the server.
However, it is possible to configure a smarthost in postfix, as stated by others above.
