[Samba] Samba AD Internal DNS, Postfix & Email Relay

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Talking for postfix, might be handy to know also. 

Ive setup MX record on the mailrelay.internal.domain.tld for the mail relay server.
And ofcource the internet MX records.. 

For the internal member servers, the postfix setups are default, they lookup the MX record for internal.domain.tld. 
And if i must define a relay its smtp.internal.domain.tld, where smtp is a CNAME to the relay servername internaly. 
When i change my relay, i change the CNAME and MX record and im done for all my other servers. 

And no relay= , is defined in postfix's master.cf on other servers, except if something is really needing it. 

The relay contains and used transport maps 
#/etc/postfix/transport_maps.map
# the internal mail end point. 
domain.tld        smtp:mail.internal.domain.tld:25

The relay is named. 
mailrelay.domain.tld ( inet side)	(MX 10)
mailrelay.internal.domain.tld (lan side)	(MX 10) 

Combine this with the bind setup and your resolving is always correct. 

Greetz.
