Appears that the firewall doesn't understand ESMTP. The hint
is the missing "NOTIFY=" lines. Thats how Delivery Status
Notification (DSN or delivery receipts) is implemented in
ESMTP. If those aren't getting through the firewall, then
your customers/clients aren't getting their return receipts
and will be complaining soon.
