Vacation use different SMTP server
Hi,
in our setup, we have two SMTP servers:
- one for receiving messages (this one is using Dovecot's LMTP for delivery)
- one for sending messages (this one is used by our users as
outgoing SMTP server)
Only the first one has list of local domains, local e-mail accoutns
etc. so the second one will ALWAYS use MX records for delivery - with
this setup, we can allow to our users to add any domain to their
accounts (for example, if someone will add gmail.com and create e-mail
accounts on it, it's complete safe because we will never deliver mail
for gmail.com locally). The only problem seems to be vacation messages
(maybe other messages send by sieve), as Dovecot is using the first
SMTP server for sending.
My questions: Can i set different SMTP server for sieve messages? How
exactly is Dovecot/Sieve choosing which SMTP server will be used?
Thanks.

Hi,
I had the same problem and solved it at architectural design level.
Instead of forcing Sieve to use a different SMTP server, I declared some transports in the sending SMTP server to force it to route internal domains directly to receiving SMTP server without going to the Internet. So, internal mails remains on internal network and there is only one SMTP server for all mail traffic.
Sorry, I know that I don't answer directly to the original question. But in the context, may be an idea ?

Thanks for idea but it won't work for me as 'internal domains' can be
anything, including gmail.com (and i don't know which of them are
really internal/local, this is decided by sending SMTP everytime
something is sent, based on MX records). Problem is that Dovecot/Sieve
is using wrong SMTP server (one used for receiving e-mails which
should NEVER be used for sending [and is never is, except sieve]).

You could do something with the sendmail_path or submission_host settings.

Is Pigeonhole really using LDA for sending? My Dovecot is using LMTP, not LDA.

That doesn't matter. These settings are used by both.
