Hi all, I ave an mail server who can only receive mail from mail-relay for adresses rewriting. Then I build rules to forward connection to the mail-relay if the source is not the mail-relay. following the rules To do that: ip_forward=1 PROXY2=10.97.200.156 SMTP=25 MYIP=10.97.24.76 iptables -t nat -N LOG_SNAT iptables -t nat -A LOG_SNAT -j LOG --log-prefix '[IPT_SNATSMTP]' iptables -t nat -A LOG_SNAT -j SNAT --to-source ${MYIP} iptables -t nat -N LOG_NATSMTP iptables -t nat -A LOG_NATSMTP -j LOG --log-prefix '[IPT_NATSMTP]' iptables -t nat -A LOG_NATSMTP -j DNAT --to-destination ${PROXY2} iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! {PROXY2} -p tcp --dport ${SMTP} -j LOG_NATSMTP iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p tcp --dport ${SMTP} -j LOG_SNAT >From proxy2 y ave the connection on the mail-server, fine. for other machine I ave a log for the PREROUTING the log for the POSTROUTING but the connection c'ant be up to the mail-relay ( proxy2 ) What can I do ?
