just a thought...
Define a second public address on your gb and tunnel port 25 to your mail server from
it.
setup a ras filter for this IP to only allow connections from your affected clients IP
blocks.
Set a second or third MX record with a lower preference to the alternate IP on your
Gnatbox.
When the proxy ignores your clients, they'll then lookup the next mx record, which
will let them through, but will still bounce any spam mails.
Have to agree its hardly elegant but it may be a workaround.

Richard

That's what I already intended do some time ago and I'm planning for it but
for this particular problem I need a quick fix.
Thanks.
