    hi,

    sorry for my bad english but I try to explain my problem

    so I have a server foo.com link to external on eth1 with a ip
    on the second network card eth2 I have a static ip 192.168.1.205

    with ip_forwarding enabled

    the eth2 go ton a switch

    and a second server bar.local is connected to the switch with a static ip too 192.168.1.20

    on the bar.local server I can ping google

    my question is can I install a postfix server on bar.local server for send outgoing and receive incoming mail from public network?

    if yes how can I make that?

    You'd have to configure foo.com to forward port 25 to bar.local. You can do this with iptables, e.g. like this:

    Code:
    iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.20:25

    so I have an error when I try to receive a mail from network

    I can't send a mail from network to my server

    so when I send a mail from gmail to my postfix server with this [email protected] I didn't receive the mail?

    any idea?

    Any errors in the mail log?
    Did you receive a bounce message in your Gmail account?

    What are the outputs of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    and
    Code:
    ifconfig
    ? Is eth1 really the Internet interface?
