How it connects
What you need

- API tokenOnly if your gateway offers API tokens: Proxmox Mail Gateway 9 and earlier do not create any. Use the username and password instead.
Network ports to open

Setup steps: Create a read-only user in Proxmox Mail Gateway
Open Configuration → User Management → Users → Add, enter the user name below, a long password used nowhere else, and tick Enabled.
dumbmonit@pmgSet its Role to Audit, then click Add.
In DumbMonit, enter the gateway address (for example mail.lan:8006), then this user name, realm included, and its password.
Heads-up. Proxmox Mail Gateway has no API tokens, so DumbMonit signs in with this password. It uses a self-signed certificate by default: tick "Accept an unverifiable certificate" in the options if the connection is refused.
