Hi Naresh, The problem is that the "Received From" information in the mail header changes from the "true" sender's information to the IP address of the interface on the firewall on which the SMTP server resides. I am interested in keeping the original mail header information in tact to avoid mail relay concerns and gather all the headers in the sendmail syslog file. I have Trend VirusWall running in CVP mode. Naresh Narang wrote: > > I don't think firewall should be responsible for telling which IP address > the mail is coming from.
