My Network configuration is as follows
The firewall (ASL 4.0) has three NIC's
The first NIC is connected to a Router which connects to the Internet
The second NIC connects to a DMZ
The third NIC connects to the Internal network
I have two public IP's of which one is used as the Mail Server IP. I have a registered sub domain that is used for checking mails. This sub domain has one MX record so that the mails are delivered to my Mail Server.
The Public IP's are named as External_Mail_Interface and External_Interface
The DMZ consists of a postfix mail server and a machine that runs Symantec Anti Virus for Gateways (AV Server)
My requirements are :
a. The mail server which runs web mail needs to be accessed from the internet as well as from the internal network. Web mail should be accessed from the internet only through the mail IP.
b. All SMTP mails that come in should route through the AV Server. The AV server then delivers all mail to the mail Server after virus scanning.
c. The AV server should be able to pick up live updates from the internet.
d. The internal network when sending mails should go through the AV Server. The internal network should be allowed POP3 and IMAP to the mail server.
Currently I have pulled the plug on the AV Server.
My NAT rules are
a. Source is Internal Network - > Any Destination - > Change Source to External_Int
b. Any Source - > destination is External mail Int - > Change Source to Ext Mail Int - > Change Destination to Mail Server
c. Source is Mail Server -> Any Destination - > Change Source to Ext Mail Int
The packet filter rules in given order are
a. Internal_Network__ - > any - > any -> Allow
b. Any -> Mail_Group -> Mail Server -> Allow
c. Mail Server -> Mail_Group -> Any -> Allow
where Mail_group is HTTP + HTTPS + DNS + SMTP + IMAP + POP3
The above configuration works fine as long as the AV server does not come into the network.
I have tried a lot of things for the last two weeks to route mails through the AV server. At one point I was able to send mails from the Internet through the AV server. But then I was told that the web mail was not working. Hence I rolled back the entire thing.
I need help on setting up the configuration so that the AV server comes up. My questions are
1. What should the NAT rules be changed to, so that the above mentioned requirements are met ?
2. What should the packet filter rules be ?
Any help is greatfully accepted.
