        My preference is to create a mail gateway on a separate Bastion Host located on a DMZ network.
        This avoids installing packages to handle mail filtering on pfSense.

        What other advantages can you think of for having a mail gateway on a bastion host?

          @akong:

          Postfix forwarder is a bit broken on 2.2.x - unless you want to try the workaround found here.
