You could try this - setup your relay as 200.37.247.3. Give your mail server
another ip address - usually an internal ip address - using sendmail on the
mail relay - add the fqdn or ip address of the e-mail server in the
mailertables file in this format -
ombudsman.gob.pe esmtp:[FQDN or ip of e-mail
server]
.ombudsman.gob.pe esmtp:[FQDN or ip of e-mail
server]
build your mailer tables db using makemap command and add appropriate
entries in access file and build your access db. On the mail server - add
the fqdn or ip address of the relay in the SMART_HOST directive in sendmail.
For filtering messages use Trend Interscan virus wall with e-manager for
filtering spam !!
