You can use a host name, but MX is not taken into account. It is up to a DNS resolver to determine what happens if a DNS name has multiple A records. amavisd.conf-sample : # POSTFIX, or SENDMAIL in dual-MTA setup, or EXIM V4 # (set host and port number as required; host can be specified # as an IP address or a DNS name (A or CNAME, but MX is ignored) #$forward_method = 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025'; # where to forward checked mail #$notify_method = $forward_method; # where to submit notifications > yes that did the trick > $forward_method = 'smtp:example.com:2525'; > > 2525 inet n - n - - smtpd > -o mynetworks=10.135.1.6 > -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject > -o smtpd_enforce_tls=no > -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=no If for some reason TLS is needed for passing a message from amavisd back to MTA, amavisd-new-2.6.0 can do it with a quite good transfer rate (transfer rate drops by about a factor of 2): $tls_security_level_out = 'may'; It can also accept mail over TLS, but this is much slower (transfer speed drops by a factor of 10), so it is not something to be recommended unless really necessary: $tls_security_level_in = 'may'; Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
