I have configured mailscanner and postfix to receive emails, scan it using clamAV and forward it to a mail server inside my network.

internet<---->mail.abc.com(MailScanner)<----->mail1.abc.com(Dest. Email Server)

Till now i'am able to receive email from outside to my antispam gateway, scan it and forward it to internal postfix server. But on internal postfix i'm getting an error.

**May 13 01:25:34 mail1 postfix/smtpd[18995]: connect from unknown[10.100.1.1] May 13 01:25:34 mail1 postfix/smtpd[18995]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[10.100.1.1]: 454 4.7.1 : Relay access denied; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= May 13 01:25:34 mail1 postfix/smtpd[18995]: disconnect from unknown[10.100.1.1] **

10.100.1.1 is the ip for gateway relay server and 10.100.1.100 is the internal email server i.e. destination mail server.

transport file

abc.com smtp:[10.100.1.100]

Also do i need to add smtp credentials on gateway server to able to forward all emails of abc.com to internal mail server? if yes.. how?

It's hard to be precise as you didn't provide any configuration of either server, but in general:

  • Your external filter server should have knowledge of the existing addresses in order to be able to reject mail to non-existing addresses. For this, you can use relay_recipient_maps.

  • The internal mail server doesn't need to relay anything at all (for the filter server) as it should have all the mailboxes in mydestination or within a Virtual Domain.

  • So gateway server should have list of all users accounts that are on end destination server.?? how can i sync those usernames?? sorry i'm noob in mail servers.. – Kameshwar Thakur May 13 '17 at 18:04
  • `relay_recipient_maps` has similar format to `virtual_alias_maps`, so in easiest case you can just copy that file. – Esa Jokinen May 13 '17 at 18:16
