Solutions for Virtualizing Domain Controllers (Part 1)

Send email to BPOS from a “fake” email address

jim — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:42:49 +0000

After I setup the SMTP relay server to send emails to BPOS, the next challenge to address was how could I allow multiple email addresses to send to BPOS that weren’t real mailboxes. For example, I have firewall logs sent from firewall@domain.com, but it isn’t a real mailbox.

The solution was much easier than I thought.

In your SMTP relay account, you just have to add it as an alternate email address. Make sure you add the alternate email addresses under this account!

To verify it, take a look at your SMTP relay logs.

If you send a test email from an email that isn’t added as an alternate email address, this is what you’re going to see:

MAIL - FROM: 550+5.7.1+Client+does+not+have+permissions+to+send+as+this+sender

Log in to your admin site for BPOS. Find the account that you have setup as your relay account, and add the email address as an alternate email on the admin site as shown below.

Once you have added the email address, resend your test email and check your logs. You should now see this:

MAIL - FROM: 250+2.1.0+Sender+OK

That’s all there is to it. Now all you have to do is add the email addresses for the rest of your “fake” senders.

If I have missed anything or you have some comments, please leave a comment.
