My little 2 cents is the external ip is different than what the traffic is originating from so Earthlink sees this as a switch so therefore it is reasonable in most cases to see this as a dynamic ip since it seems to change in the middle of the communication. Change the external ip to reflect what the traffic originates from or vice versa.

Since your originating IP address has technically changed, perhaps you need to notify Earthlink (assuming they are proving you with a full-time connection of some sort). They are PROBABLY forcing all your outgoing mail through their servers and your new Originating IP address is most likely not listed in their "allowed to relay" to table. (from the original message you sent).

Sandy: I'm not sure what you mean here. My old configuration had my email server behind a NAT router. The external port on the NAT router was 199.44.118.253. The mail server was located on private IP 192.168.0.2 but answered to 199.44.118.2 via NAT. My new configuration with the PIX is basically the same. The external port of the PIX is 199.44.118.253 but all traffic shows as coming from 199.44.118.252 (not sure why my PIX programmer did this, I'm not a firewall person). The mail server is still on private IP 192.168.0.2 but answers to public 199.44.118.2. According to www.dnsreport.com and www.dnsstuff.com, my DNS is setup properly, I am not listed on any spam lists, and I am not an open relay. Hopefully this clarifies things. Hank > no fixup protocol smtp 25 No, don't. Having trouble getting list mail today? :) The origin IP 199.44.118.252 is not the same as Hank's AUTH server (199.44.118.2). Hank has not clarified what mail is going through the other gateway and/or why. There may be a multi-stage relay accidentally in place, maybe something else. -Sandy --- [This E-mail has been scanned for viruses.] [MGT of America, Inc.] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
