RE: local DNAT with bind,postfix,and iptables

Actually, I was referring to the 1-server setup needing 'voodoo' to get it working in a similar fashion to the current 2-server setup. ;)

I don't judge. Everyone can decide for themselves what's the best solution for their case! :D

(From a security point of view, I've always taken the stance that as little as possible should be running on the firewall. Especially nothing like Bind or a mail-server. It's only my opinion, though.)

hey, that ain't voodoo man.. ;P I use this method to stop people going straight to my internal Microstop Exchange box and forced to go through my postfix box which as a transport file to relay internal but the machine itself.. This enables me to control the mail as well as setup RBL and free antivirus setup using linux...

Otherwise just put a smart host entry on your sendmail/postfix/firewall box to use the internal server for relaying out.. but I prefer my transport idea... that's what it was made for... ;P he he

Thanks,
