Creating inbound connectors

Inbound emails are routed via inbound send connectors. If several connectors are suitable for routing an email, the most cost-effective one is selected.

NOTE: The option for direct delivery to the local email server is obsolete and is no longer available in NoSpamProxy since version 13. Delivery via queues is always applied.

  1. Go to Configuration > Email routing > Inbound send connectors.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Follow the instructions in the dialog box.
    Please refer to the notes under Mehrfach verwendete Einstellungen bei Konnektoren.
  4. Click Finish.

Behaviour of connectors when adding Gateway Roles

Upon installation of the first Gateway Role, all inbound and outbound send connectors are automatically switched on.

If one or more additional Gateway Roles are added, the following (desired) behaviour occurs:

  • Send connectors that were switched on on all existing roles are also switched on on the new roles.
  • Send connectors that were switched off on one or more roles will not be switched on on the new reels.
  • Receive connectors are not affected.

This behaviour prevents unwanted email traffic from being sent via a new Gateway Role whose configuration has not yet been completed.
