That suggestion (not from me, but I understand it) was to create an A record
for a different name, Webmail.domain.tld. So you'd have mail.domain.tld
pointing to the Gateway, and webmail.domain.tld pointing to the IMail box.

I don't understand the comment "The firewall we have can't do port
forwarding to the same network IP address". You want to forward IP (not
port) to different IPs (not same network IP address) based on the
Destination Port.

In IPTABLESeese, that's:

-A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -d public.address.of.mail -j
DNAT --to-destination dmz.address.of.gateway
-A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -d public.address.of.mail -j
DNAT --to-destination dmz.address.of.imail

ymmv, depending on your firewall.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] How do you deal with the mail gatway
situation


Our servers are in DMZ network. The firewall we have can't do port
forwarding to the same network IP address. The mail gateway can only route
per domain one IP , one port, which has to be used for mail delivering (port
25). I can see web mail from browser by type IP address, but not the mail
domail name address, since in the DNS, the mail domain name is pointing to
gateway IP for the purpose of sending all mail going through the gateway. I
can't set up another "A" record to point to the real mail domain ip (setup
in imail), since the "A" record already made mail domain name to pointo the
gateway ip address.
Any other route way?
Thanks!
