Okay, I'm still scratching my head here. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Scenario: Having a Postfix server in the cloud to act as the primary |
| 4 |
MX, but actually forwarding the emails to my company's email server |
| 5 |
behind the firewall. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
For the purposes of my scenario, here are the relevant (but mangled) settings: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
*) Domain is "example.com" |
| 10 |
*) Postfix server is "mailer.example.com" with the IP 55.66.77.88 |
| 11 |
*) Company email server is accessible via 11.22.33.44:5225 |
| 12 |
*) Firewall only allows incoming traffic to 11.22.33.44:5225 from 55.66.77.88 |
| 13 |
*) I want to set MX for "example.com" to "mailer.example.com" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I saw the "relay_domains" and "relayhost" settings, oh good. But then |
| 16 |
I ran smack-drab to the following "NOTE": |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
# NOTE: Postfix will not automatically forward mail for domains that |
| 19 |
# list this system as their primary or backup MX host. See the |
| 20 |
# permit_mx_backup restriction description in postconf(5). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, if I set "relay_domains = example.com" and "relayhost = |
| 23 |
[11.22.33.44]:5225", yet have "mailer.example.com" as the primary MX |
| 24 |
for the domain "example.com", the emails won't be relayed to |
| 25 |
11.22.33.44:5225, right? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Can anyone help me configure Postfix to actually do what I want, e.g., |
| 28 |
to *still* relay emails destined to @example.com to the address |
| 29 |
11.22.33.44:5225? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
TIA. |
