Mail Relay for one customer on a different IP as for the rest of the SMTP traffic

Status:

  • Sophos UTM cluster with two WAN interfaces/IP-networks
  • Mail protection in use for all email traffic
  • Outgoing SMTP traffic on the primary address of the 1st WAN interface
  • Customer's MX record points to above IP address and is processed by Exchange server in LAN

Requirement:

  • Customer wants to send great amount of automatically generated report emails
  • To avoid emails going through the Exchange server, the customer's program will connect to Sophos UTM SMTP Proxy from WAN with Username/Password.
  • We want to avoid to have our primary SMTP IP blacklisted if customer's emails cause trouble

Question:

  • Is there a way to have only this email stream leave the UTM from a different IP address/interface than our 1st WAN's primary IP?

  • Hallo Alexander - agreed with Doug that you don't want to use the UTM's SMTP Proxy.  I have several clients that do just as Doug suggests.

    Cheers - Bob
