Exim4 with amazon SES

MAN5 · February 14, 2022, 9:10am

This request is due to our Digital Ocean droplet, the global ASN marked as UCEPROTOCAL3 problem.
Many people requested to DO via forum for past few years, but still they dont care…

my panel is,

-Hestia cP v.1.5.7
-Configured (/edit/server/) > Global SMTP Relay.

It works well while my hosted domains sending via php/html emails. It shows as via ‘Amazonses.com’. Thats good.

But when we recvd system emails to root@panel .com, we forwarded to GMAIL.
It still shows as via ‘mypanel .com’.

How do i config to change the system mails from (via) ‘Amazonses.com’…?

Hestia uses:

SENDMAIL="$HESTIA/web/inc/mail-wrapper.php"

And should then send email with phpmailer…

Hi,
Just for my testing purpose,
even i deleted
‘/usr/local/hestia/conf/hestia.conf’
‘/usr/local/hestia/web/inc/mail-wrapper.php’

My system notifications to root@panel .com i still shows as ‘via panel.com’
So, it seems the settings are in somewhere else.

Hosted domains are follows as ‘via : amazonses’. But not system root@panel .com…

OK,

What i realized was, the system mails are do’nt care about hestiacp or any applications except MTA. Because system mails supposed to send via MTA directly - not via any other applications.
This causing issue for me, because of VPS IP blocked by UCEPROTECT3
Nothing to do with hestia

Finally i settled this matter by using this link:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/send-email-sendmail.html

Now i could see my root@panel .com emails to gmail are (sent via: amazonses)
