I think the mail server is not connected to the internet and does not handle 
"public domain" emails. It only handled email tragic internally. So the cloud 
app needs a way "in" and the idea is to use a simple public mta that accepts 
the mail as-is and passes it on to the internal server which delivers to the 
user(s).

I think a simple mail relay will do the trick allowing traffic from that one IP.

Cheers,
Sebastian
