Force SMTP (25) out on particular WAN
-
I am in a bit of a state of confusion around policy routing. Would be grateful if someone can give me an example of a rule that will achieve the following - I have read the manual and several posts here and given this several attempts with no joy so far.
I have 3 WAN connections and 1 LAN.
Setup an Exchange server and want to force it to only send SMTP out on WAN1.
Here's what I have done
-
Setup a gw group called SMTP on Wan1 to be WAN1 Tier1, WAN2 and WAN3 Never. Trigger level Member Down
-
Setup a floating rule as follows:
PASS
IF: LAN
Direction: OUT
IPv4
TCP
Source ANY
Dest From Other SMTPport to Other Other SMTPport
ADvanced/Gateway: SMTP on Wan1
So - all this does is block SMTP coming IN!
Changed rule to be IF: WAN1 instead of LAN and although SMTP comes in, it doesn't force SMTP out on this rule.
So now I don't know if I'm coming or going with in and out - I have gone snow blind with it.Many thankis for any help.
