"yet another smtp..." sounds like you think you have too many already, but you only have, qmail for an MTA, and Vexira for SMTP AV. What's wrong with a third small application for SMTP delivery? It could even run on the same machine. I run Windows OS's so I use the built in MS SMTP service that come with the OS as the delivery mechanism. Low overhead, stable, and gets the job done. Why not use DNS for delivery in Vexira instead of setting a "destination smtp server"? Is that not possible in Vexira? Since it runs on a different machine than your mail server qmail, you could point all the domains you manage to your qmail's local IP using local DNS settings to manage incoming external email and it would deliver non-local email via DNS to the Internet for outgoing email. > So Inbound mail will flow like this: Internet -> ASSP (port 25) -> Vexira > (port 1025) -> qmail server (port 25), Local mail will flow like this: > eGW -> > ASSP (Relay Port, say 2225) -> qmail (port 25, from ASSP's Relay Host > setting), and Outbound mail will flow like this: eGW -> ASSP (Relay Port, > say > 2225) -> qmail (port 25, from ASSP's Relay Host setting) -> Internet. > > I realise that local-to-local mail will flow in a round-about way, but is > this > a workable solution?

This will work to skip Vexira for local-local mail, but I use ASSP to block attachments coming from the Internet that I do not want to block for local-local mail so it still would not work for me. Plus, we do a lot of internal mail, sometimes with largish attachments, so I don't want my server wasting time passing all that traffic through ASSP too. The most efficient plan is to restrict internal mail to just the client and the MTA and have multiple layers of protection for email coming in from the Internet.
