Hi all, We are having a peculiar problem with our mail server and I hope that this is the forum to ask. We are running sendmail 8.12 here just having converted from Netscape Messaging server this week. When emailing from a local domain to a domain that is locally hosted by us I get the following result ------------------------snip----------------------- [root@mail1 /]# telnet mail.foo.net 25 Trying 1.2.3.4.. ------------------------snip----------------------- mail1 = our mailserver mail.foo.net = our mailserver's dns entry 1.2.3.4 = the external number of our mailserver - we are doing a static NAT from a 192.168 number to this "legal" ip address Now my understanding is that this is trying to initiate a connection from the internal invalid ip address through the firewall and back in. Every time I have tried this it just hangs... the firewall logs aren't saying much - I have logging turned on for the rules that deal with this server and am seeing nothing. Is there a (secure?) way to allow this? Is there a better way of doing this? Is this a sendmail issue? HELP!!
