Hello,

I have successfully installed and configured a multi ISP environment 
based on Shorewall 3.4.3. I achieved this pretty much exaclty like 
explained in the related documentation 
(http://www.shorewall.net/MultiISP.html). Everything is working fine, I 
am using the 'track' option.

In addition to shorewall there is a SMTP relaying deamon running on the 
same machine. Mails transfered to 'net' will be relayed by '$FW'.

Due to some reverse DNS checks of some outside mail servers, now I have 
to ensure that all outgoing SMTP traffic is routed through a specific 
ISP (the one with the registered public IPs for the domain). 
Unfortunately I was not able to find a way to do this. The mentioned 
example in MultiISP.html does not work in my case because the traffics 
source is '$FW' where the 'P' chain can not be used:

> 2:P             <local network> 0.0.0.0/0       tcp     25
How can I achive that SMTP generated by $FW is routed through a 
particular ISP?
