port 25 forwarding iptables FC4, can't get it to pass traffic
Hi All,
I am trying to to set up port forwarding using iptables to forward all port 25 traffic from my mail server to a spam appliance. The trick is that I want to direct all but traffic from one IP address over to the appliance.
thanks for the responses. When I try to use the rule I can't send through the mailserver and traffic does not get redirected. Adding the route command as suggested above did not do the trick either.
Does that rule show up when you do iptables -t nat -L
Do you have rules in the FORWARD chain to allow the packets to be forwarded. Is ip_forwarding turned on in the kernel? You might also want to have ethereal or tcpdump running on the internal interface and see if you can observe the outgoing forwarded packets.
