SMTP plugin (send only)

[RGN01]

I'm fairly new to OPNSense and a complete noob when it comes to adding plugins so please be gentle!

I wish to add the mail gateway module to allow various devices to send automated email alerts through it, rather than external accounts like Gmail.

I've reviewed the documentation https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/mailgateway.html and it mentions adding ClamAV, Redis and RSpamd in addition to Postfix - so my question is: are these essential if I just want the outgoing capability?

Thanks.

You would need only postfix without the plugin.

Thank you, fabian

Wow, that was painless. Thanks again!

Another question, if I may: the log is empty despite me sending emails and I can't find a setting to turn it on. Are these settings documented somewhere? I can't find them on the page I referenced earlier.

If you don't use the plugin, there won't be an UI. The logging is in the system log or somewhere in /var/log

And If you use the plugin you need to disable circular Log in System : Settings : Logging

Thanks, all.
