I think here's what's happening. I mis-spoke above about the contents
of /etc/courier/esmtproutes. I did have in /etc/courier/esmtproutes
':viper' since that's the name of the host. When I change ':viper'
to ':[192.168.200.3]' the forwarding/smarthost worked. I think my dmz
web box has an issue with the name 'viper', though I did have 'viper'
in /etc/hosts.

Anyway, I'm waiting for a bit to watch legitimate traffic come through
the dmz.

Thanks for your help, Jerry.

Mike
