which is a total nonsense :) see, "NAT != proxy" - this means that
publishing whatever service sitting behind a NAT just means setting up
a "port forwarding" rule and this, in turn, means that whatever
incoming connection to such a port (on the WAN interface) will be
forwarded to the internal box/port and seen by the latter as coming
from the EXTERNAL IP address not from the NAT one; what you described,
instead, is the situation of a box sitting behind a "proxy" of some
kind which accepts incoming connections and proxies them to ASSP; this
makes me think that you're using some kind of "appliance" or "UTM"
which is also implementing incoming mail filtering (and maybe some
kind of spam filtering); in such a case, given that such a filtering is
carried on by ASSP (and far BETTER than using whatever appliance), my
suggestion is to disable the "SMTP proxy" in your appliance and let
ASSP do its job (even if sitting behind the NAT/Firewall)
