I think I'm on to something The network here is a privately addressed LAN, mailgate.partition.co.uk resolves to the firewall, which forwards port 25 to the exchange server
The LAN network address is 192.192.192.0/255.255.255.0 set up before I arrived, I was a good engineer and gave the other subnets 192.168.x.x ranges :) 192.192.192.0 isnt a private range is it? When I put one of our server addresses into an IPWHOIS search, this tajen.edu.tw domain comes up as the owner I guess I need to change the network address range here? Yuck Anything else or a possible workaround? We are WINS only, DNS servers for internet access are at our ISP thanks -----Original Message----- From: Niki Blowfield - Exchange Sent: 04 March 2003 15:42 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Internet mail taking an obscure extra step?
