only relay mails to members of a certain online service by another SMTP host



Hi,

I set up a Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 in Brazil and its mail service is running now perfectly, except that for any reason a major online service based in US blocks our static IP address. Their postmaster web site is merely a fake site, there postmaster help desk phone number is dead, the postmaster e-mail address produces only automated response messages. So I gave up, since there seems to be no way to let them unblock our IP.

My idea is now, to relay mail to their members by our SMTP server in Germany, which is not blocked by them. However, I do not want to relay all mail from Brazil by the German server, since this involves too much unnecessary long distance traffic.

I know, how to change the Postfix configuration files to relay all mail by another SMTP host. But, how do I relay only for certain destinations by another SMTP host? Is this feasible at all?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Rolf Jansen


PS:

A major online service based in Germany was also blocking our IP in Brazil. I sent them a kind notice to there postmaster address, and they responded personally and kindly, and they removed our IP from their block list within 12 h after my message without any further discussion. I consider this a professional and responsible way of dealing with problems, compared to the totally unprofessional and irresponsible attitude of this other online service.
