RE: Troublesome IMS
No, we don't have a Cisco Pix. Could it be a setting on the Cisco 2600 router? This is the only Cisco kit we have.

This results in the IMS retrying to redeliver the mail at the set intervals and the somewhat annoyed recipient receiving multiple copies of the mail until it expires. This only happens occasionally - most mail goes out fine. I have noticed that is does happen to one email that gets sent regularly from one of our users to an external mailbox. I have tried using nslookup from the server and can telnet in to port 25 of the other servers without a problem. Our box is set up as follows: NT4, Sp6a, PIII, 3 processors, 1gb mem.

RE: Troublesome IMS
I'll have to defer to those that are running PIX.[1] A quick search through the archives will more then likely reveal that no fixup protocol smtp 25 is highly recommended. Additionally, a quick web search on no fixup protocol smtp 25 will reveal that use of the command is mixed. Some claim it is not needed others claim it is. Here is a quote from a poster on securepoint.com mailing list, This has been a problem forever. It has been fixed in some releases of the PIX firmware, but it has been broken in more releases than not. Just give up and turn off the smtp protocol fixup. no fixup protocol smtp 25 Better yet, I could suggest you do what we have done.
