PFSENSE acting like an antispam gateway with postfix forwarder

I need to replace a Esafe anti spam server and a Checkpoint server
I Think pfSENSE can do the work with postfix forwarder and squid guard of this 2 two server in one box.The first step of the deployment is to remove Esafe and i have set a pfSENSE like this
On a VMWARE ESXI, 5.0 server
-
I have installed PFsense 2.1.2-RELEASE (amd64)
-
I have setup a wan interface on my network
-
IP : 192.168.1.76/24
-
Gateway : 192.168.10.254 (CISCO ASA505)
-
I have setup a lan Interface also on my network
-
IP : 192.168.1.77/24
-
No gateway
-
On my cisco i redirect my public IP address to the wan interface
-
On pfSENSE i have created a nat to the localhost for the port 25

Hi JJYVON,
Thanks for replyDid u mean the hostname of the PfSense Server? (on System -> General Setup right?)
Can u give me an example the good name for PfSense Server? my PfSense server name is bss-pfs -
Yes i mean the hostname of pfSense Server.
a good hostname is without any character other than letter or number.
bss-pfs : Don't work.
bsspfs : while work.
