I wanted to do the second option you mentioned below. Directly
connecting one interface card (Static IP address) to the DSL modem and
use the other interface card for the private LAN. The problem is I
don't know how to do it and how to ensure that Internet users wouldn't
be able to pass through my private LAN.
Private Lan -> QMT Server -> Internet
Thanks in advance for your help.

Tom,
What kind of network setup do you have? I ask this because I kept our
server on the private LAN and forwarded some ports from our Cisco
router to it.. so only those specific ports were forwarded (pop, web,
smtp, etc).
Then recently I moved this server to directly connect to our DSL to
act as a router, and used the other NIC for the private LAN.

*Subject:* [qmailtoaster] Setting up Internal and External LAN
connection with security in QMT
I hope somebody will be able to help me with below.
I wanted to do these things using the newly installed QMT mail server
in CentOS5. I followed the instructions from
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/CentOS_5_QmailToaster_Install#Getting_Started
web site.
* Assign Static IP address (Internet interface)
* Assign private IP address ( as a local interface)
* block all other services and just allow smtp/pop/web access
access coming in from Internet and local interface
* and how to verify if configured properly
We are a small business and housing our own email server is the best
option for us since we need local and Internet accessible mail server.
I also, wanted to try to upgrade using QTP but can't find the correct
documents to do it.
Thank you very much for the support.
Tom

I am newbie admin of a small business and recently I decided to create a
in-house email server using QMT.
I already set it up and it was working properly locally and it can send
emails outside too. I have two LAN cards available in the machine but
when I first setup the mail server I just assigned one local IP address
(because I still don't have the static IP then) and just used existing
DNS that we have. Now I have the static IP available and I would need to
assign the new IP to the other LAN card (Internet) and allow only
incoming smtp/pop connections to the mail server. Can anyone help me get
a detailed document or site that can help me understand how to do it,
secure it and manage it? I don't want our mail server to be available
today and tomorrow it was already hacked.
I am using CentOS 5.0 and latest packages of QMT.
Thank you for the help.
Tom
