Yes. Exactly.
The more I think about this (transparent TCP/25 proxying) idea, the more
I think it ought to work. I just have to find teh Right proxy software.
Somebody mentioned haproxy and I'm looking at that now. It might do the
job.
The problem will be convincing it to dynamically -change- the one and only
-other- IP address that it is proxying traffic to/from based on dynamic
changes to some (dynamic) DNS FQDN. If it can be coerced into doing that
then I think this will work.
So anyway, that will be a total solution for the inbound side. My outbound
mail will have to be handled entirely separately. For that, I'll have to
use someone else's smarthost, or else roll my own, which is easy enough
to do, I think.
If I get this all working, I'll have to do some modest write-up on it.
I already have a title!
