MULTI GATEWAY POLICY ROUTING

This module sets up dynamic routing to preserve ipv4 source addresses.

Caution: This should only be used if you are using NAT on your mail servers to forward mail to RiskFilter.

Multi Gateway Policy Routng enables you to override the default gateway setting in your routing table. Connections forwarded to RiskFilter will have their packets routed back through the source's configured gateway. This is needed if these connections are from multiple mail servers which do not perfom SNAT packet modifications. With this enabled, RiskFilter is able to see the original source of a forwarded connection and route packets back through this gateway.

Multi-Gateway Policy Routing must have mail server(s) that support iptables, so that emails can be relayed to RiskFilter before being forwarded.

To set up Multi Gateway Policy Routing:

1Select Multi Gateway Policy Routing in the System tab.

Figure 5 - 7 The Multi-Gateway Policy Routing screen

2Select an Interface from the drop-down list box.

3Enter the MAC address of the Gateway into the Ethernet (MAC) address field.

4Enter the IP address of the Gateway into the IP Address field.

5Click Add.

Note: To test RiskFilter, run this command on the mail server:

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -m tcp ! -s RF-IP --dport 25 -j DNAT. To use this feature, you MUST run this command on the mail server.
