SMTP forwarding

[SelbyGlenn]

Hi there,

I need to install a Linux server that will forward internal (10.0.0.0) SMTP requests to our internal mail server (I won't go into the reasons why).

I'm very new to Linux and I'm struggling to work out how to do this. Is Sendmail the best solution for this? It looks like a bit of an overkill for what I need. Can anyone suggest a suitable SMTP server? I'm running Slackware 8.0 on a cruddy old P200.

Thanks in advance, Glenn

You want to forward only outgoing traffic? If yes, you can use simple port forwarding, then. Just forward port 25 from your Linux box to SMTP server. Linux server as gateway, am I right?

If you want to do more complex job, I would recommend Postfix (

http://www.postfix.org).

It is much more human-friendly than Sendmail.
