Per-User VirtualMTAs for IEM

Overview

The patch that’s described on this page enables you to set a default VirtualMTA on a per-IEM-user basis. This value is applied to campaigns and autoresponders that are sent for mailing lists that do not have a VirtualMTA (aka Mail Route) specified. If a mailing list does have a VirtualMTA specified in its settings, that setting takes precedence over the per-user VirtualMTA setting.

Installation Instructions

1. Install the IEM GreenArrow Patch if you haven’t already.
2. Add the smtpmailroute column to the email_users table.

   1. For MySQL, run:

      ALTER TABLE email_users ADD COLUMN smtpmailroute varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL;
      

   2. For PostgreSQL, run:

      ALTER TABLE email_users ADD COLUMN smtpmailroute varchar(100) SET DEFAULT NULL;
      

3. Download the IEM Per-User VirtualMTA Patch to IEM’s root directory:

   wget https://www.greenarrowemail.com/docs/downloads/iem-greenarrow-per-user-vmta-1.01.patch
   

4. Verify that the patch will apply cleanly:

   patch -p1 --dry-run < iem-greenarrow-per-user-vmta-1.01.patch
   

5. Apply the patch:

   patch -p1 < iem-greenarrow-per-user-vmta-1.01.patch
