Re: postfix question
Hello Oliver, Would it help to pimp your transport map? #In the case of delivery via SMTP, one may specify host- #name:service instead of just a host: # # example.com smtp:bar.example:2025 You can replace bar.example with the IP address of the other interface. The way I understand, transport map selects messages based on recipient's address or domain. In the above example, only messages destined for example.com would get routed through the right interface. Once messages end up in the queue, qmgr uses trivial-rewrite to resolve recipient's address and selects a transport based on that. Or am I wrong? I need to route messages based on either sender's address/domain (this would suffice) or incoming interface (better). Thanks for the suggestion anyway! -- Nino ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: postfix question
Remember, UNIXes and suchlike use a single IP address route table. Your machine isn't trying to establish a connection to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is trying to establish a connection to IP address x.y.z.a Machines don't speak domainese. They translate the human-friendly stuff like domain names and such into IP addresses. Once the system resolves the recipient e-mail address into a destination IP address, the choice of interface that it goes out on is entirely controlled by the route table. And due to the single route table in the system, that is going to be the interface that reaches your default gateway. Even if this box was a router, like a Cisco that supports route maps that allow you to bypass the single route table, since the mail is originating from the system, it would always follow the same map anyway. You need 2 mailservers to do what you want.

Re: postfix question
You would probably get better assistance if you asked this question on the Postfix forum. True. However, I did google through a lot of Postfix resources (documentation, forums, mailing lists...) and didn't find what I was looking for. I posted this question here hoping that someone already ran into this problem, solved it somehow and was perhaps willing to help me. I mean, people reading this list are system admins with experience. Your machine isn't trying to establish a connection to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], it is trying to establish a connection to IP address x.y.z.a... That is not relevant in my case. What I want to do is define two different smtp services in master.cf (each bound to a different IP address with smtp_bind_address option) and have Postfix use one or the other based on incoming interface or sender's address/domain. You need 2 mailservers to do what you want. That might be true with Postfix, although two instances on the same machine would suffice - I'm looking for a solution that doesn't include two instances. I know it can easily be done with Exim and I'm actually testing on my test machine Exim installation right now. Speaking of which, is FreeBSD with Exim a good combination for a mailserver, what are your experiences?
