Hi all,

Here is what I'm trying to achieve, please let me know if this is
possible/feasible.

I wanted to run my own mail sever so I setup everything on a FreeBSD
box at home. But soon I realized that my isp (comcast) is acting up.

Sending: I have to send via comcast's gateway using my comcast.net account.
Receiving: Comcast blocks port 25.

I then tried using MXGuarddog to act as an MX relay and forward emails
to me which kinda worked but I didn't like the idea much.

To circumvent all that, I got a VM with a live IP where nothing is
being blocked now.

What I want to do is, use this VM as just a jump host and still keep
entire setup at home.

(I am using noip.com service to keep track of my dynamic ip at home)
Currently my MX record points to the VM with live IP. (as it should, I
think). I also have correct rdns/ptr record set.

This is how it should work, afaik:
Sending: Initiates from my home box and go out via VM.
Receiving: VM receives it and forwards to home box.

(I've also tried sending through my home machine on port 587 but the
home comcast IP is blacklisted)

Is this something doable? Can someone point me to example postfix
configs? I've been stuck here for a week now and I've tried numerous
setups/configs without success.

cheers,
Hiren
