I've been following this thread through the archives, and while a great deal of your requirement is that you don't want to create a pin-hole. It occurs to me the that you (or someone else following this thread, looking for a similar solution) may not know that it's possible to open directed pin-holes - an opening on a firewall that is only accessible from a single IP address. This in conjunction with a non-standard SMTP port set-up (say port 2525), and you've got full function SMTP without the need to set up a laborious batch-transfer. For details on how to set up a directed pin-hole, look at the Fedora (and RedHat 9) NTP time sync. Under Core 2 : /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd start reading at line 67.

But am really amazed to hear about this feature of postfix and look for a qmail implementation of this....though I dont think any exists. Qmail is quite granular and should be able to handle anything...at least thats what I thought ;-) Anyone know of any implementation of transport maps similar to postfix, implemented with qmail? Idea in itself is quite good...and does enable to keep mail (not in transit) behind the firewall. Comments please. Anybody? One learns something everyday...no matter how idiotic his original curosity ;-) Ciao. Sanjay. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
