I am setting up spam assassin... on a fedore box...

I want to put it inbetween my exchange server and the network...

I have 2 nics installed...

10.100.200.98 and .99

How can i make network traffic pass through this box.. so the exchaneg box knows the network is on the otherside of the linux box... and the linux box knows teh network and exchange are on either side of it...

exchange is 10.100.1.44
I Have webmin installed in teh linux box for easy manipulation...

It depends...You need to be able to find a netmask that covers all the IP on one side of the machine. If you can't do it, it may be hard. The easiest solution would be to change IPs - give machines from one side something like 10.1.x.x and from the other side 10.2.x.x. Then you configure routing on the Linux machine - all for 10.2.x.x to one NIC, for 10.1.x.x to another, plus default (probably like the exchange server).
