PFSense Send traffic out from LAN host on a specific IP

Hi guys,

I'm now using PFSense as our firewall and am looking for a way other than 1:1 Nat to send traffic from our Mail-Server through a specific public IP we have in our pool that can be quickly changed on the fly.  We have 126 useable IPs so were in the /25 subnet, and am unsure of how to do it.  I still want to receive mail on the same IP we have been using, just looking to send mail out a different public IP we have

The reason is, we have our Public DNS for our MX and A records for our mail server, but if an issue ever arises with say being blacklisted when we send mail outbound on that same address, I want a way to quickly change the outgoing public IP being used.

IE I still want to receive mail on the same public IP we have been using, but I'd like a way to quickly change a setting to send out mail using a different public IP in our available pool.

Is this possible?

Thanks for the info.  I'm going to do some further reading on your information before making any changes, as it sounds I could halt outbound traffic all together if i'm not careful.

Thanks for your help!
