There are 2 machines in the loop so all the port adjustments are optional. The dead simple configuration is:
Internet - smtp -> ASSP - smtp-> MTA - smtp -> Client - pop/imap/etc Client - smtp -> ASSP - smtp -> MTA - smtp -> Internet I've been running this in multiple sites for 3-4 years. It works just fine. I run it here at home on a single IP. The firewall handles all the port redirection to send inbound 25 to ASSP in both cases. One site is running with MTA sending to the ISP as a forward, the other runs with the MTA sending directly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
