Here's something on topic for a change. I hope that this also won't turn into a days long flame war.
Here is my situation. I currently have a large mail server sitting in the DMZ. We would like to have the option of delivering mail (and storing IMAP folders) in users' home directories in their main file space. Mounting the file server through the firewall into the DMZ is not acceptable. So to accomplish this same effect, I was thinking about having two mail servers, one in the DMZ and one in the trusted zone that has the file server mounted. Mail will be filtered, anti-spammed, and virus scanned in the DMZ, and then passed via LMTP or even normal SMTP to the inside mail server where individual procmail recipes will be run and mail delivered to home directories in Maildir format. The outside mail server must allow smtp auth so that people outside the department can still relay mail through our servers. Also mail sent from the inside must, due to external security reasons, go through our outside mail server. IMAP and POP will simply be proxied through to the inside. Has anyone set up something like this before? Is my idea sound at all? <flame retardant suit on/>Our inside mail server will be sendmail, and because of its milter capabilities which make filtering so much nicer than any other MTA, I'm thinking about running Sendmail on the outside server too. qmail is not an acceptable option, so don't mention it.<flame retardant suit off/> The only thing I don't know how to do currently is tell sendmail to accept mail for local delivery, but then forward it on to the trusted mail server rather than deliver it.
