Bypassing the default Postfix config..

Hi all,

We are getting out of testing phase at my company and are planning to deploy the mail gateway with a full license.

One of the issues I have is that the Postfix sendmail compatibility program (sendmail) will not accept a command line switch to send directly to an MX ip while bipassing the Proxmox ecosystem.

For instance, if I was using generic sendmail I could issue this to the command line : sendmail smtp="192.168.1.34:25" foo@bar.net

That command will bypass the mail server on the machine in question and send the mail directly. I need this for some custome programming we use. The mails have to be sent from outside the main postfix (and proxmox) ecosystem.

I've tried a custom config file with alter-nate_config_directories = /etc/postfix/private_relay/main.cf

But the mails still show going through the proxmox ecosystem.

So how do I bypass this behavior?? I have legacy programming which needs to send e-mail directly to a particular MX so even if Proxmox is down, or postfix is down, we still get the emails.

Thoughts?
