I have a new iRedmail installation. I have the mx record for my domain pointing to a standalone server that scans emails for spam and virus before delivery to iRedmail. I use this same server with a number of other email servers with no issues. When it tries to deliver mail to the iRedmail server, the messages are rejected with a " Recipient address rejected: unverified address: Recipient address lookup failed" and a return error 554 5.7.1 Relay access denied.
If I point the mx record direct at the redmail server then messages are properly received and processed.
The spam server is in the same subnet and I have tried using the local and pubic address to connect to iRedmail and placed the public and private ip addresses of the spam server in the mynetwork parameter in opt/iredapd/settings.py and main.cf to no avail. Is there another parameter I should use to allow message relay?
