hi,

i want to explain the problem simply. we have an mail server running postfix. when i want to send a mail to a spesific domain, i want postfix to use the ip of this domain's mail server. i don't want it to use dns. what is the configuration line for postfix ?

thanks.

You need to configure a transport table:

http://www.postfix.org/transport.5.html

For example:

domain.com smtp:[mail.domain.com]

Have a nice day and keep asigning points!!

after configuring it, shall i add line in main.cf ?

transport_maps=/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport

Add a line like this:

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

Then run:

postmap /etc/postfix/transport

at main.cf file i add a line like this;
transport_maps=hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport [postfix running on free bsd]

and edit the transport file /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport as following;
domain smtp:[remote server's IP]

don't forget to postmap transport table and reload the postfix.
