    Hello guys. I just want to be able to install Postfix forwarded so i can relay emails from my exchange server over the internet. How would i go about setting this up? I want to use it as like a smarthost… I am hoping it will be something quick. Appreciate your help in advance.

    Kind Regards,
    Craig

      Iv managed to get Postfix relaying. But when i want to relay off postfix, how do i then get it to forward all emails it picks up and forwards them onto post.demon.co.uk?

      Kind Regards,
      Craig

        relayhost = [post.demon.co.uk]

        Kind Regards,

          craigduff,

          If you want to filter emails from internet and then forward to internal server, you will need to configure all tabs.

            Do you know the configuration process for using postfix forwarder as a backup for my mx record?

            Kind Regards,

              @craigduff:

              just follow all tabs, there is a lot of descriptions on fields.

              the basic tabs are general, domains and antispam.

                Ok thank you. Are there any best practices for this type of configuration? I don't need to configure recipients? I just want all emails stored until my mail server back on?

                Kind Regards,
                Craig
