Support for a external PolicyD (access policy delegation)

Problem reported by CLEBER SAAD - 6/11/2026 at 11:50 AM

Hello,

I'd like to suggest an integration with a policyd server (like postfix).

SM has a lot of features, but, we can customize if we can integrate that with a policyd server.

Regards

I'm not familiar with PolicyD, but I wonder if you might be able to achieve some of that customization using our Routing Rules and gateway functionality. Routing Rules were recently implemented in SmarterMail and allow highly detailed rule configuration and you may find it bypasses the need for PolicyD.

Hello Kyle,

With policyd we can achieve some more advanced functionalities and customizations than routing rules, in addition to being able to customize some webhooks that don't currently exist in smartermail.

Do you use PostFix as your incoming gateway, but still need these features in your main server?

We are working to move to sm cluster, and in that, some features that we use in incoming and outgoing gateway (postfix with policyd) don't exists in SM. We created our policyd server with some integrations

I would keep Postfix as the incoming gateway. I expect we will move to it at some point, but for Windows people, learning Linux and Postfix is intimidating.
