Hello,

Thanks, Mark and Sam and Lee, for your replies.

I've just come across this page, http://bind8nt.meiway.com/itsaDNSmess.cfm,
which provides clear explanations of several reasons why a mail server
sitting behind a NATing firewall without its own public IP address and
proper DNS records might fail to send to some domains while successfully
sending to many.

I can't find a place in Exchange (5.5) where I can tweak what it says in an
SMTP session.  I have neither the documentation nor the training to be
confident, however, that such tweaking is impossible.  Does anyone out there
know?

Otherwise, I will try, as a quick fix, changing the Exchange server's DNS
name, that is, its name under the DNS tab of the TCP/IP section of its
Network control panel, to the firewall's.  I can't think of anyplace else
this name gets used on our network... so this shouldn't break anything...

I will have a look at postfix, too.

Thanks again,

Barbara Miller
