Hi

CISCO "mail fixup rule" is broken in the PIX!

CISCO guys says it has been fixed in a "newer" version, but I haven't
seen it!

Take it out in the PIX and everything should work!

Subject: PIX Mail problem (resend)


I'm in trouble with incomplete SMTP session.

out-smtp ---> PIX ---> my-smtp

When out-smtp server send a mail to my-smtp via PIX, the SMTP connection

occasionally closed incomplete. In this case, my-smtp server reply to
250 (message accepted for delivery ), but QUIT never retruns from
out-smtp. Of couse, my-smtp server doesn't reply 221 ( closing
transmission channel)

In my-smtp side, Mail can be reached. But out-smtp server continues to
resend the Mail until remove it from mail queue. This is the trouble.

* 99.9% of SMTP session from out-smtp is normaly closed.
 ( I mean, my-SMTP server can received QUIT in most case. )

* Out-smtp servers resending a mail have nothing in common and are not
  fixed.

* This trouble doesn't depend on the mail SIZE, traffic nor out-smtp
serves.

* PIX log shows that out-smtp continues to PUSH + ACK to my-smtp server.
The following is the log, when the resending started.

Can you tell me how to fix this troube ?
