Hmm, not sure....

I have g_gateway (domain=*) set to a smarthost, and ideally I'd like to bypass that smarthost for messages coming from IP address x.x.x.x. (I'm also utilizing g_gateway_ifnot.) Currently the only case where I'm using g_route is to send mail destined for one particular domain to a different host (sounds like I could use g_gateway for that, too). How does g_route_except interact with those other settings? In other words what takes priority over what?

If we can't get this concept to work and I have to do the routing based on sender email address, is there any way to restrict that a particular sender email comes from a specific IP address(es)? And, in that case, can "dest" in g_route be "*" (i.e. use MX)?

Thanks,

Bob

Does this help you?

Hello all,

I've been hunting around with no luck on this. Is there any way to get Surgemail to send outbound mail to a specific gateway/smarthost (or, more specifically in my case, no smarthost) depending on the ip address the message came from (i.e. the sender's ip address)? "g_route" does it based on sender's email address, which I guess I'll use if I have to, but in my particular case the IP address would be better.

Given that, does "g_route" allow "*" for the "dest" field (i.e. use MX record to send directly and bypass the smarthost)?

In other words, and for more context, I'm trying to get emails generated by a specific system on my network to go out directly rather than through my smarthost/scanning service.

Thanks!

Bob
