Hi,
I have been trying for a few days now to route mail traffic on a different connection than rest of traffic using iproute2, I already did some posts regarding this problem, and thanks to help of guys here and in the lartc mailing list I succedeed to have a little improvement.
Here are the box infos :
Slackware 9.1 (Linux 2.4.22) Two dsl connections via pppoe
I only care about locally generated mail traffic but I didn't succeed making it as the mta level.
I did : iptables âA OUTPUT âi eth0 ât mangle âp tcp ââdport 25 âj MARK ââsetâmark 1 echo 201 mail.out >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables ip rule add fwmark 1 table mail.out ip route add default via [Second's ISP Gateway] dev ppp1 table mail.out
In order to make packets go out with correct source ip address :
iptables -t nat --append POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 25 --jump SNAT --to-source [Second's ISP external IP]
The current situation :
I can see with tcpdump packets going out, and back but if I do telnet someisp.com 25 I see nothing in the terminal.
I really don't know what can be wrong and found no answer neither in the mailing list archive, in the lartc howto or in the advanced routing howto.
Here is the tcpdump log when doing telnet 213.41.143.209 25 :
