Thanks Dave. I wasn't planning on running identd services but now I'm
thinking I may need to. I'm not sure.
Our firewall is an IP masq'ing Linux box.
Right now our internal users are having trouble sending mail via smtp.
It appears that the smtp server is sending auth packets back to the linux
box but they aren't getting unmasqueraded right to get back to the client
machine. I'm not sure what the deal is with this. Our internal machines
are gettin gerrors like:
"relaying denied" (netscape email client)
and
"no transport provider was available" (outlook email client)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
Sincerely,
Josh Estelle
