Trouble Sending Email from Jail

[SeaWolfX]

Hi guys,

I'm struggling with getting email sent from within jail. As you can see from the screenshot below everything seems to be working fine (unless I am missing something), but the email is never received. I have set up System -> Email in the WebGUI and tested sending an email to the same email address and it is working fine. Any suggestions?

rc.conf

Code:

portmap_enable="NO"
sshd_enable="NO"
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
firewall_script="/usr/local/etc/ipfw.rules"
hostname="OpenVPN"
devfs_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="devfsrules_common"
inet6_enable="YES"
ip6addrctl_enable="YES"
openvpn_enable="YES"
openvpn_if="tun"
openvpn_configfile="/usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf"
openvpn_dir="/usr/local/etc/openvpn/"
cloned_interfaces="tun"
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/usr/local/etc/ipfw.rules"

You need more than just running sendmail, you have to configure it too: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mail.html

Make sure you have a smarthost configured in the sendmail configuration.

Thanks m0nkey_, I'll check out your link! I was under the impression that the Jail instance would somehow use the email configuration set up through the FreeNAS WebGUI. In some other tutorials I read (e.g. https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...envpn-inside-a-jail-in-freenas-11-1-u1.61681/) it did not come clear that the sendmail had to be configured, but I guess it makes sense.
