Problems with Raptor 6/NT

[Enno Rey]

Hi to all and a happy new year,   since I never got any response to my questions I try again, hoping that only those days prevented you from answering... ;-)   Is anybody here who got outbound SMTP via Raptor 6/NT (SP 6a + some patches + Raptor patch 6.02) to work? I tried the whole night from internal Exchange 5.5, from internal sendmail 8.7.6, via direct access from Outlook, directly telnetting to port 25 internal interface or port 25 at MX outside the firewall, disabling ESMTP on Exchange and whatever. I called Axent tech support (they gave me a case number...), searched up 'n down the Internet. I sniffed round the firewall: SMTP connections to firewall don't seem to get any further than TCP handshake, but on the outside I see DNS traffic for resolving MX for mail addresses from internal queue ... strange! For testing purposes, I even allowed 'universe to universe SMTP' (don't blame me, being desperate) - nothing! Messages to internal mailers alike 'service not provided to you', logs on firewall indicated something like 'x.x.x trying non-transparent access' (so I enabled various forms of transparency) or 'timeout: x.x.x didn't respond to startup command' (I don't know any SMTP 'startup' command, do you?). I ended up with redirecting ports to mailer outside firewall. That worked. But then I don't need 'high-end' SMTP-proxy. And then I have to configure outside mailer to relay generously...   I remember somebody talking about outbound SMTP from sendmail via Raptor during discussion about FW-1/Exchange coexistence. Could you please give me details about your configuration? Or does anybody else have any idea? And there's another problem: logging. The logs should be read & extracted for accounting purposes on another box behind the firewall, but the tool normally responsible for this - REMOTELOG - no more exists. Sure, I could move the logs manually to the other box, but then I had to use/open NBT. Any ideas where to get REMOTELOG for Raptor 6 or something equivalent or any other solution for this?   Thanks a lot in advance,   Enno Rey   [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: FB9B DA6D 6706 5A8D A361  F63C 6650 E4C8 3BBE 04E9
