There's a FAQ that details this process for the qmail MTA: http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=show&file=faq03.008.htp You might get some ideas from the approach used there, although most of it is quite different from the way Postfix does things. > Currently, i use postfix as a stand alone box that filters mail before it > hits my sendmail box. Is there anyway( i couldnt figure this out from the > FAQ's) to have TMDA forward the mail to the second mail server? I started working on something like that back in April, and posted what I had to the tmda-users list: http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-users/2003-04/msg00307.html My experience with Postfix isn't quite as strong as with qmail, so I ran out of ideas, but you might be able to spot the missing step. > -Mail arrives from internet and is filtered by postfix > -Postfix then forwards the mail to TMDA which sends verification requests > back thru the postfix to the original sender. > *here is where i am stuck, once postfix gets the verification back and TMDA > confirms, TMDA drops it to a mail directory?

Another approach would be to configure getmail/fetchmail on the destination server and retrieve all the mail after Postfix/TMDA has delivered it to the local mailbox. This avoids having to requeue the message after TMDA finishes its processing. > If there is no way to get TMDA to send email out, could i use a second > instance of postfix with a different configuration, basically setup to > forward the domains email to the sendmail server, to forward the cleared > mail thru? Yeah, that sounds like a lot of unnecessary work though. Certainly this can be solved with a single instance of Postfix.
