This proved useful when I implemented MailScanner for Carbide-Finger Limited
By adding a smart router you can act as the primary mx for a domain that actually isn't local to your server at all for example: I used this to push virus & spam filtered mail onto a customers Exchange Server negating the need for POP boxes.
To implement smart routers:
Then open /etc/staticroutes in your favourite text editor (vi is my preference) and add each domain you would like pushed on in the following format (one per line):
target.mail.server can be a FQDN or an IP address
In the Routers Configuration section of your exim.conf add the following:
Then after an exim restart you should have working smart routers (its always worthwhile to tail the exim_mainlog for a while afterwards just to make sure its ok)
Thanks to 'projectandrew' on the cPanel Forums for this one.
Is it possible to forward the mail to like port 26 like this: domainname.com: target.mail.server:26 I want to be able to forward mail for specific domains to my home e-mail server. Tho my provider has blocked port 25, so that’s why I’m asking. Thanks and best regards, Jeroen.
