A Postfix server on a DMZ must accept mail for example.com and forward it to an internal mail server at 10.0.0.5. The DMZ server must not accept mail for any other domain. Which configuration achieves this?

Set mynetworks = 10.0.0.0/8 and mydestination = example.com.

Set mydestination = example.com and transport_maps to map example.com to smtp:10.0.0.5.

Set relay_domains = example.com and relay_transport = smtp:10.0.0.5.

Set virtual_alias_domains = example.com and virtual_alias_maps to map all addresses to user@10.0.0.5.

An administrator needs to verify that a Postfix server can deliver mail to a remote host and that the remote server accepts the message. Which command provides the most detailed SMTP conversation for this test?

postqueue -p | grep user@remote.example

swaks --to user@remote.example --server remote.example

sendmail -v user@remote.example < /dev/null

mail -s 'test' user@remote.example < /dev/null
