I am amazed that in 2024 Sangoma is still squeezing $25 out of people so they can have basic and proper SMTP services for their FreePBX systems. This isn’t 2014 where a system with questionable or incomplete SMTP setups can freely send mail to destinations and it be accepted. Modern SMTP services expect SMTP to be handled properly these days and an improper SMTP setup can get a FreePBX system blocked on mail services the user is dependant on.
Why is it that FreePBX still requires the admin to either know about the ins/outs of SMTP and understand how to modify Postfix to send directly or through SMTP Relay. Or they can shell out $25 to get it exposed in the GUI so their PBX can send notifications properly?
Is there a logical reason for this or does it break down to the age ole “it’s a revenue stream” logic?
