      Do I have to disable those port forward on 25 from ExternalMailServer to InternalMailServer or they will be there as like as they are?

      yes, all external traffic must go to postfix (rdr from virtual ip to 127.0.0.1 with associated rule applied)

              If you have enabled the postscreen, the first communication for each ip will be rejected. Just like the spamd feature

                Marcelo,

                so what you recommend? If I disable the postscreen I will receive emails. Or there is any other solution.

                  That means 2nd time sender will work properly. Am I right?

                    Yes, try some sends to your domain.
                    I use postscreen on my setups.

                        Marcello,

                        There is problem with SMTP authentication when I want to send email to my network. Is there any pass rule where I can authenticate for my sesric.org emails.

                          Id did not included authentication features to this package yet but you can paste these configs on custom field at postfix gui.

                          As this is not anymore a nat question, use this topic for postfix questions, there are some auth config samples post by forum users there.
