The other thing is to check whether whatever PF is using for its SMTP relay
is listed as a permitted mail host through SPF. We had that issue when

Re: [PacketFence-users] Utilize Google SMTP servers for guest access emails

Hi,

I guess this would not be done in packetfence, but you'd configure 
packetfence to use a local postfix, and configure postfix to use a 
smarthost with authentication for it's outgoing mail.

Being a Google Apps organization, it would be nice to have PF be able to 
utilize Google's SMTP servers (and authenticate with one of our 
username/passwords).  This way, it would appear more legitimate (with 
proper SPF and DKIM) than from our local SMTP server.


Is this currently possible in PF?  I don't believe it is, but perhaps 
I'm missing something.


Thanks!

[PacketFence-users] Utilize Google SMTP servers for guest access emails

[Max McGrath via PacketFence-users]

Hello -

We have a lot of guests at our site right now and it appears that a lot of
times when someone registers as a guest with the email-registration option
-- the email ends up being sent, but it goes to their spam and the user
never sees it.

Being a Google Apps organization, it would be nice to have PF be able to
utilize Google's SMTP servers (and authenticate with one of our
username/passwords).  This way, it would appear more legitimate (with
proper SPF and DKIM) than from our local SMTP server.

Is this currently possible in PF?  I don't believe it is, but perhaps I'm
missing something.

Thanks!
