# mailrelay

`mailrelay` is a simple mail relay that can take unauthenticated SMTP emails (e.g. over port 25) and relay them to authenticated, TLS-enabled SMTP servers. Plus it's easy to configure.
|
|
|
|
## Use case
|
|
|
|
Some older appliances such as scanners, multi-function printers, RAID cards or NAS boxes with monitoring, can only send email without any authentication or encryption over port 25. `mailrelay` can send those emails to your Gmail, Fastmail or other provider.
|
|
|
|
Run `mailrelay` on a local PC and set your device (e.g. scanner) to send mail to that PC.
|
|
|
|
`mailrelay` is written in Go, and can be compiled for any Go supported platform including Linux, MacOS, Windows.
|
|
|
|
## Example (Linux)
|
|
|
|
On local PC (192.168.1.54) create file `/etc/mailrelay.json` with contents:
|
|
|
|
/etc/mailrelay.json
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"smtp_server": "smtp.fastmail.com",
|
|
"smtp_port": 465,
|
|
"smtp_username": "username@fastmail.com",
|
|
"smtp_password": "secretAppPassword",
|
|
"local_listen_ip": "0.0.0.0",
|
|
"local_listen_port": 2525
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `mailrelay`,
|
|
|
|
```Bash
|
|
./mailrelay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Default location for configuration file is `/etc/mailrelay.json` but can be changed via `--config` flag. For example,
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mailrelay --config=/home/myname/mailrelay.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configure your scanner or other device to send SMTP mail to server `192.168.1.54:2525`. Each email will be relayed to `smtp.fastmail.com` using the credentials above, including any file attachments.
|
|
|
|
## Example 2 (Linux - Systemd service)
|
|
|
|
Create configuration file as above, and also create,
|
|
|
|
/etc/systemd/system/mailrelay.service
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=Mail Relay Service
|
|
After=network.target
|
|
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Type=simple
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
RestartSec=5
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mailrelay
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Copy `mailrelay` to `/usr/local/bin/`.
|
|
|
|
Run,
|
|
|
|
```Bash
|
|
sudo systemctl start mailrelay
|
|
sudo systemctl enable mailrelay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now `mailrelay` runs as a service daemon and will automatically start after reboot.
