 |
|
Hi,
I just installed pop3vscan on a router/firewall box. I use the following rule to pass all pop3 traffic through pop3vscan:
| Code: |
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport pop3 -j REDIRECT --to 8110
|
(eth1 is the LAN connection)
All seems to work well from within the LAN.
However, I'm also running sylpheed off the firewall-box (with a windows X-server on my box in the LAN), and the problem seems to be that this sylpheed traffic bypasses pop3vscan. This seems logical to me, since locally generated packets on the firewall box wouldn't pass PREROUTING anyway. However, I'm not sure how to redirect the local packets to achieve my goal: i.e. to pass connections of the local (i.e. on-server) sylpheed also through pop3vscan. Any ideas  [/quote][/code]
