NimbostratusHow to go about setting up F5 as SMTP relay for outbound (not inbound)
I want to setup my CAS array (NLB) send connector going to the BIP-IP LTM as a virtual IP, what else must i configure to route the SMTP traffic outbound. Must the Virtual server members be the external mail servers ? Can it work in this configuration to replace a Symantec Messaging Gateway, obviously two different appliances i understand, but more so just sending outbound mail across i want to load balance the SMTP going outbound from the connector.
Thanks for your answers.

Hi Kris,
The F5 can server up a VS on any side of the interface, as long as their a route fro the return traffic. That being said do you want to load balance SMTP or do you want the F5 to act as a SMTP relay itself?

The following link is an irule that allows you to transform a VS into a SMTP Proxy
