Configuring a domain with a single next-hop IP address using the CLI

Prev Next

This procedure describes how to use the Email Security - Server appliance CLI to configure a domain with a single next-hop IP address.

If you do not specify a TLS policy, the value none is used by default.

If you specify a TLS policy (opportunistic, mandatory, or verify), you can also configure the MTA to use DNS MX record translation on the next-hop IP address.

Prerequisites

  • An established connection between the Email Security - Server appliance and the Internet.

  • You are logged in to the Email Security - Server appliance CLI as an Admin or Operator.

To configure a domain with a single next-hop IP address:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode.

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Specify the domain and one next-hop IP address.

    By default, the MTA TLS delivery mode is none.

    By default, MTA use of DNS MX record translation on the next-hop IP addresses is false (disabled). If you explicitly configure the delivery mode, you can enable the mx option.

    The following example configures the mydomain1.com domain with a single next-hop IP address and uses the default MTA TLS delivery setting (none):

    hostname (config) # email-analysis domain mydomain1.com next-hop 172.17.74.10

    The following example configures the mydomain2.com domain with a single next-hop IP address and sets the default next-hop MTA TLS mode to mandatory.

    hostname (config) # email-analysis domain mydomain2.com next-hop 172.17.74.20 tls-policy mandatory

    The following example configures the mydomain3.com domain with a single next-hop IP address and sets the next-hop MTA TLS mode to verify. The MTA is configured to use DNS MX record translation on the next-hop IP address.

    hostname (config) # email-analysis domain mydomain3.com next-hop 172.17.74.30 tls-policy verify mx true
  3. If you want to enable email for all subdomains of a specified domain, use the email-analysis domain <domain_name> subdomain-relay enable command.

    hostname (config) # email-analysis domain mydomain2.com subdomain-relay enable

    Note

    A domain and all subdomains created for it must point to the same next-hop IP address.

  4. Verify your changes.

    hostname (config) # show email-analysis
    Email-Analysis:
      enabled                      yes
        .
        .
        .
      Domain(s):
          domain: mydomain1.com
              next hop mta: 172.17.74.10
              MX Enable: false
              TLS mode: none
    	   Block Notice Enable: true
    	   Subdomain Relay Enable: false								
          domain: mydomain2.com
              next hop mta: 172.17.74.20
              MX Enable: false
              TLS mode: mandatory
    	   Block Notice Enable: true
    	   Subdomain Relay Enable: true
          domain: mydomain3.com
              next hop mta: 172.17.74.30
              MX Enable: true
              TLS mode: verify
    	   Block Notice Enable: true
    	   Subdomain Relay Enable: false
  5. Save your changes.
