SMTP proxy with forwarding, not relaying?

InlineFive
Hey all,

I'm attempting to use an Astaro box to scan outgoing email for spam and viruses with the SMTP proxy.  The only issue is that I have a dynamic IP and I'm getting messages from various ISPs saying that dynamic/home IPs are not accepted.

How can I set Astaro to scan the mail and forward it to the appropriate server?  Instead of relaying the message from itself?

Thanks!

Aodhan

    Using smarthost assumes only one smtp mail box or does the Astaro smtp proxy read the header and forward the message to the correct server? If it reads the header it is then acting as a relay.

    I am confused.

    i'm not sure whether i've understood your problem:

    it seems that you're running a local mailserver and you've tried to send mails directly to external servers. this is mostly not possible, because you've got a dynamic ip with no rdns entry.

    to solve this problem you have to solutions:

    1. get a static ip address with rdns entry

    2. use a smarthost (external smtp relay) such as T-Com provides for business customers.

    if you're scenario is that you are running your mail client with more external accounts (e.g. gmx, yahoo, etc) and want all your mails get scanned by asl and then delivered to the certain boxes -> no way with the asl's smtp proxy.
