>Internet mails -> Postfix-1 (SMTP Gateway) -> ASSP (SMTP Proxy) -> 
Postfix-2

This is a NOT recommended mail flow. Why? Because Postfix-1 has to 
generate at least one (possibly more) NDR for every mail that is blocked 
by ASSP.
Such a mail flow may be used, if ALL mails are delivered and are only 
tagged by assp.

If a company uses such a mail flow and the company is commited to keep 
conversations for revisioning, the company has to archive and to keep all 
mails received be "postfix-1"! Because this host has accepted the mail. 
Generating a NDR, because a mail was blocked by assp (in this mail flow) 
does not extricate the company from archiving the mail - even it is 100% 
spam!
Only if the company does NOT accept (means reject using 5xx 4xx) a mail at 
the first entry point, it is extricated from archiving, because the mail 
was never received.

Because this sounds logic - there will be a similar regulation in nearly 
every country (don't know about Vietnam).
BUT ALL germans are warned - this is LAW in Germany!

Instead use:

Internet mails -> ASSP (SMTP Proxy) -> Postfix

This flow uses the advantage of assp's proxy mode. If ASSP blocks a mail 
and drops a connection - nobody and no system at local location has to 
care about NDR's and bounces beause of NDR's.

Thomas:
Thanks for your detailed explanation.

I'd like to share my success ASSP deployment that has the feature 
"domain-based email routing":
Inbound Connection:
Internet mails -> Postfix-1 (SMTP Gateway) -> ASSP (SMTP Proxy) -> 
Postfix-2 (domain-based email routing enabled) -> Email Server1/2
=> I use the feature "multi instance" of Postfix for the feature 
"domain-based email routing", where as:
* Postfix-1 (primary instance): Accept all incoming messages from the 
Internet, then route them to ASSP
* Postfix-2 (secondary instance): Used for ASSP as the SMTP destination 
configured in ASSP
* Postfix and ASSP are running on same host on my System

Regards,
N. Thang
