Using Exim on Droplet 1 with FQDN to send myself rootkit hunter and fail2ban updates via gmail SMPT.
I would like to run fail2ban on a droplet 2 privately networked to droplet 1.
Droplet 2 has SRV record xmpp.domain.com
all above works.
Can I configure fail2ban on Droplet 2 to use EXIM on Droplet 1?
thanks to all.

Hi @jbdough
Yes, you can setup Exim on Droplet2, and configure it to relay to Droplet1. So more or less the same as you’ve done with the Gmail SMTP on Droplet1, but instead of relaying directly to Gmail on Droplet2, you would go through Droplet1.
I would probably recommend setting Exim on Droplet2 to go directly to Gmail instead of going through Droplet1. Meaning use the same configuration on Droplet1 and Droplet2.
