Umm.. What do you mean ?

A little more info might be useful.

1) Does your mail server have multiple interfaces/domains (i.e. 2 NIC cards.
One for outside traffic and one for inside traffic).  Or is the mail server
a "real" machine (a valid routable IP address) ?

2) Can you get INSIDE mail to work (i.e. connections from behind the proxy
server into the mail server) ?

3) Can you telnet from OUTSIDE through your proxy into the mail server's
port 23, 25, or 143  ?
