I host 2 web domains (domain1.com and domain2.com) on a CentOS 6.6 Linux server with 4 IP addresses.
Postfix 2.6.6 accepts mails to info@domain1.com and info@domain2.com and forwards them to person1@gmail.com and person2@gmail.com. Here excerpts of the config files:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
virtual_alias_domains = domain1.com domain2.com
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic
/etc/postfix/virtual
info@domain1.com person1@gmail.com
info@domain2.com person2@gmail.com
My problem is that the first person (my father, whose business is since 1990 at the internet) becomes a lot of SPAM mails. I use Spamassassin to reject those mails, but some still come through and when forwarded to person1@gmail.com they cause Google to throttle my server:
DFC32800849 3412 Fri Jan 30 11:40:38 PPQDikzMMZTedKR@hotmail.com (host alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.130.26] said: 421-4.7.0 [144.76.123.123 15] Our system has detected an unusual rate of 421-4.7.0 unsolicited mail originating from your IP address. To protect our 421-4.7.0 users from spam, mail sent from your IP address has been temporarily 421-4.7.0 rate limited.

This affects the second person, who gets mails to person2@gmail.com after long delays.
My question is if it is please possible to configure Postfix so that it uses different IP addresses (since my server has 4 of them) for forwarding the mails?
Thank you and below is the current "postconf -n" output:
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
myhostname = www.domain1.com
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
smtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
smtp_destination_rate_delay = 40s
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_alias_domains = domain1.com domain2.com
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
UPDATE:
I have modified my config files as suggested by undefined (thank you!) and then run postmap /etc/postfix/transport
and service postfix restart
-
/etc/mail/master.cf:
smtp unix - - n - - smtp
smtp-1 unix - - n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=my_ip_3
smtp-2 unix - - n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=my_ip_4
/etc/mail/transport:
person1@gmail.com smtp-1:
person2@gmail.com smtp-2:
Unfortunately, I still see the old problematic my_ip_2 in the delivered mail headers.
How can I please verify that the new "transports" are being used?
Here is the log excerpt after the change:

It is not the IP that I have specified for smtp-1 or smtp-2.
UPDATE 2:
I have added "-v" to /etc/postfix/master.cf:
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin
....
smtp unix - - n - - smtp
smtp-1 unix - - n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=144.76.184.155 -v
smtp-2 unix - - n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=144.76.184.156 -v
....
spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=spam argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
And see now more Spamassassin messages in the /var/log/maillog.
