SMTP routing based on host header

Hi James,

 

There is a example irule in the samples page regardig SMTP Proxy

 

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/SMTPProxy.html

 

 

It can be modified so that it finds the @addre.com and then you shuttle it to a specific pool

 

 

I hope this helps

There's another example of scanning for particular e-mail addresses here:

The thread also points out that the SMTP server needs to start interacting with the sending MTA before a pool switch can be made - MAIL FROM comes after HELO in the SMTP transaction (more info: http://slett.net/spam-filtering-for-mx/smtpintro.html), so a bit of SMTP proxying is going to be necessary in the rule before the message can be released to the proper pool.

...for another run at the same issue.

Not that I don't think it can't be done with an iRule, but is there a reason you can't put in a relay (e.g. postfix) in your DMZ to doit for you?
