SMTP is not supported by Packetbeat: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/467](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/467) You can observe traffic on port 25 and 587 with [flows](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/configuration-flows.html) but it won't decode the protocol specific data. ---

Thanks? Andrew So i think i will use filebeat instead , so you think i can analyze traffic on those port by analyzing mail server logs with filebeat. ---
