Hi Ted,
Here are the two new Routers and transports. I am still wrestling with how
to set the IP address as the outgoing interface for the alias
router/transport
Routers:
dnslookup_local:
#this router tests to be working as needed.
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
condition = ${lookup {$sender_address_domain} lsearch
{/etc/virtual/domains} {yes}{no}}
transport = remote_smtp_local
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more
dnslookup_alias:
# if the 'To domain' is not local, and the above router was not used, use
this one
# as it appears the original 'To Address' was an alias that wilforward
mail to a
# non local smtp
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp_alias
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more
Transports:
remote_smtp_local:
# This transport seems to be working well.
driver = smtp
helo_data = ${lookup
dnsdb{defer_never,ptr=$sender_address_domain}{$value}{$primary_hostname
}}
interface = ${lookup
dnsdb{defer_never,a=$sender_address_domain}{$value}{69.90.69.141}}
return_path_add = true
debug_print = "XX T: remote_smtp for $local_part@$domain Sent VIA
${lookup \
dnsdb{defer_never,a=$sender_address_domain} \
{$value}{69.90.69.141}} XX"
remote_smtp_alias:
# This transport works, but how do I set the outgoing IP to the one
# for the original domain (the aliases' domain, not the ultimate
recipient.
driver = smtp
helo_data = ${lookup
dnsdb{defer_never,ptr=$sender_address_domain}{$value}{$primary_hostname}}
# interface = ${lookup
dnsdb{defer_never,a=$sender_address_domain}{$value}{nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn}}
return_path_add = true
debug_print = "XX T: remote_smtp for $local_part@$domain Sent VIA
${lookup \
dnsdb{defer_never,a=$sender_address_domain} \
{$value}{nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn}} XX"
