yes:

root@s3:~# telnet 178.x.x.194 26
Trying 178.x.x.194...
Connected to 178.x.x.194.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mailgateway.domain2.net ESMTP Postfix

If you want to look on the server itself, sent me a pm.

EDIT:
This looks wrong:
Loaded 2 processed domains from database domain2.net -> 178.x.x.194:25 w4r.com -> 178.x.x.194:25
It seems it got those ports from the database and not Transport file or py settings

Edit 2:
I changed the table client_domains - relay_port to 26 (was 25) and now it works. However, the mail is not shown in the dashboard. I however do see headers from the openefa server in the mail.

Edit 3:
I removed line 299 in /opt/spacyserver/services/db_processor.py and now the error "cannot access local variable 're' where it is not associated with a value" is gone and emails are forwarded:
if message_str:
try:
from email import message_from_string
---> # import re
msg = message_from_string(message_str)
However, they don't show up in the dashboard and I got this in the db_processor.log:

Well, it seems we are just being used to test the software. There was supposed to be a community edition and a paid version, but now there is only a paid version. Maybe they are part of the Trump organization :D .
However, I already have a Proxmox Mailgateway running, which works very well.

Maybe see you there.

"However, I already have a Proxmox Mailgateway running, which works very well."
We're also thinking of moving from 'old' OpenEFa to Proxmox, since it looks like new OpenEFA will not be used in production environment anymore as a free version.
How was deployment do we need to take any extra care or is it out of the box as OpenEFA ? Any issues what we must be aware of when doing install and afte that ?
Thank you
