Postfix SMTPS HaProxy configuration

Hi,

Do HaProxy support load balancing of SMTPS(465) with Postfix ?

Yes, you can either terminate SSL on haproxy and forward plaintext SMTP to your backends, or pass the SSL traffic transparently to your backends.

Node that to maintain the source-ip, you need to use the PROXY protocol, which needs a compliant SMTP server. Afaik postfix does have support for this now.

Hi Ramesh,
please avoid those Postfix-HA configurations and use MX-records as intended.

If I understand correctly this is not about incoming mail traffic, but outgoing, where the client connects to a SMTP to send an email (so there is not MX involved).

I don’t think SMTPS can be done for incoming email traffic at all (but only STARTTLS).
