[Google Workspace] Configuring the e-securemail SMTP Relay for Google Workspace

📌 Compatibility: Google Workspace (all editions)

Objective

Instead of sending emails directly to the Internet, this procedure allows you to route all outbound messages from your organization through the e-securemail antispam gateways using a secure SMTP relay.

🔑 Important Information

SMTP relay server to configure:
smtp.security-mail.net

This is the address you must configure to route your outbound mail flow through the e-securemail filtering gateways.

🔒 Security Recommendation

For optimal protection of your Google Workspace infrastructure, restrict inbound connections by allowing only the IP addresses of the e-securemail servers in your routing settings.
