TwitterI am trying to use plesk as a mail server, so IMAP and Webmail, but want all my outgoing mail to go through a 3rd party SMTP Service who filter our incoming mail also. I am getting mixed thoughts online as to whether you can do this. I know that on the plesk CP you have to select either SMTP relay or use postfix, but is it possible to modify the config in postfix to use as a full email server but also relay all outgoing mail to another server?

It depends on the relayhost and authentication. relay services "normally" have documentations "how to configure" their services with common mail - servers. Here is an example which can be adjusted for other relayhosts as well: How to set up Postfix to send emails using Gmail Relay with authentication?

Regular Pleskian
I have Plesk running as a normal mail server. I added the following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf to send all outgoing mail to another server.
relayhost = pmg.deine-domain.de:26
in this case server pmg.deine-domain.de on port 26.
As I do not want Plesk to accept smtp directly, I have blocked port 25 in the firewall, except from the server that receives my mail.
Pop3/imap/webmail are still open and usuable on the Plesk server.
