The mail delivery method that I used is "deliver all mail to local mail
server". Where should I specify the domain name in Webshield?

Our e-mail server is behind a firewall. I opened the ports 25 (SMTP) and
7190 (POP3). Does it has something to do with the mail rejection.

Attached is the mail log:

> I believe WebShield SMTP has an option "Message Delivery" or something
like that, where you choose how messages are delivered (directly, via DNS,
etc.) which can be a bit confusing.  If I recall correctly, you have to
choose two of them.  Check the help file, I'm guessing the problem is there.

normal format ("your_domain.com") and the second time with a period at the
end ("your_domain.com.").  This will prevent a nasty DoS attack.
