Virtual MTA outbound IP issue
« on: September 12, 2011, 12:14:38 PM »

Hello,

I've gone through the documentation, but somehow I'm not getting it right.
May be I'm missing something.

# where:
# x.x.x.x are the source application server IP's
# 10.90.2.x VMTA IP's [private/internal IP's natted perfectly with public/external IP's]

Questions:
Q1) Can the above config be more optimised.
Q2) Whenever connecting this Pmta server using any VMTA IP, the mail is actually getting delivered using the main/parent IP of the server instead of using the VMTA IP as it's outbound IP. Please suggest solution.

Thanks.

You can use inheritance to get rid of some of the lines, but what other optimizations do you want?

Q2) Whenever connecting this Pmta server using any VMTA IP, the mail is actually getting delivered using the main/parent IP of the server instead of using the VMTA IP as it's outbound IP.
See section 8.4 of the User's Guide for selecting a VirtualMTA.
