I am a qmail newbie.
I have qmail installed and working in our dmz behind one Cisco pix.
Our network design requires that I forward all the mail currently coming
into my dmz back to our inside secure network to host email02 behind another
pix. I have tried to set this up and am my mail appears to be going in a
loop.
My intention was for email01 in the dmz to receive all mail and send it back
to email02 for storage. the MX record on the internet points to email01.
There is no record on the internet for email02.
I was trying to do this with smtproutes. So email01 has mydomain.com in its
rcpthosts but nots its locals and an smtproute file with
mydomain.com:[ip_of_email02]. Then email02 had just one line in its
smtproute file of
:[ip_of_email01].
I Tried putting mydomain.com back in the locals on email01 and using a
.qmail-default file to forward everything back to the IP address of email02.
[email01]# more .qmail-default
| forward "$LOCAL@[10.2.10.6]"
I didn't get mail in either of the above cases. My first question is
conceptual. Am I going about this in the correct manner or is there a better
way?
I will need to have email02 forward outbound mail because I don't have
internet DNS resolution in my secure network.
What do you think the best configuration is given that I will probably not
be able to get DNS resolution back to my secure network and I will only have
my email01 host in the DMZ advertizing as an DNS MX record on the internet.
My disk storage for email messages is all in the secure network so I need to
store the messages back there.
Thanks for any help on this.
