i think the client chokes if the firewall responds to the smtp connection because postfix doesn't pretend to be the host the client was trying to connect to (like squid does in transparent mode) ie. client trys to connect to 10.0.0.1 port 25. firewall redirects to localhost port 25. the tcp handshake fails because the syn/ack comes from 192.168.0.1 instead of 10.0.0.1 i guess you could rewrite the response packets but i was trying to avoid going to those lengths. note: relaying works if the client uses the firewall as the outgoing server. i'm just trying to avoid anyone that drops their laptop onto my network from having to reconfigure their MUA from their normal ISP settings. marty -- I wanted freedom, bound and restricted I tried to give you up but i'm addicted "Time is Running Out" - Muse -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
