Re: iptables, DNAT, and SMTP

65.15 is a spam filtering appliance, so I do not think that will work. I thank you for taking the time to look at this for me.

I'm hoping to get some help from the community, and I'm sure I'm just
overlooking something simple. My goal is to forward smtp traffic
destined for
one machine to another based on source.

I have done this: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

I've enabled the loading of iptable_nat in the iptables config file.

This is the base of what I'm using in my /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.
Any
direction on what I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.

:PREROUTING ACCEPT [1581:83538]

Please show us the output of `ip a` and `ip r`.

[root@deathstar sysconfig]# ip a

DNAT can logically not work in this setup, unless 65.15 routes received
packets back to 64.3 for the un-DNATting.
