Let me tell my setup. I have a IPcop firewall distro running on a machine using 3 network interfaces...one uses the public Ip and is connected to the ISP, second uses 192.168.x.x and has the web-server (also the incoming mail server..as I propose to firewall outgoing connections on SMTP port on this machine) and the third is the local network with IP range 192.168.y.x.
I have a server on the internal network that again hosts a webserver for the intranet and I propose to use this as outgoing mail server. This is the only machine on the whole network whose outgoing SMTP port will not be firewalled. Technically, what I am trying to do is make the machine on the internal network to be the only outgoing email gateway of my network, with anti-virus & content filter etc. The outgoing connection of course will be natted and with reverse dns, should be acceptable. I hope I don't sound as muddled as I think because I am still reading up on requirements to do this. All suggestions are welcome. With regards.
