In order to configure a Smart Host, add IP address of the outgoing server (in the case the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.255) or the subnet from which the outgoing mail is sent and then follow the instructions for your mail server:

Warning Be sure to make a copy of your configuration files before you change them.

InformationWhen configuring your mail server to use Kaspersky Hosted Email Security Service, you have to specify the smarthost address which will be checking your e-mails. The smarthost address depends on internal settings of Kaspersky Hosted Email Security Service, and is personally provided to each user of the service. In order to get the smarthost address for your domain, please consult Kaspersky Hosted Email Security Service Technical Support by sending an e-mail to KHSS-Support@kaspersky.com from the mail box of the administrator responsible for Kaspersky Hosted Email Security Service support in your company. <smarthost_address> in the instruction below refers to the smarthost address.

  • Find the definition starting with DS in your sendmail.cf and change it as follows: DShostedsecurity.biz

You will need to restart or refresh the Sendmail process to pickup the changes made in the sendmail.cf file.
