Re: [FW1] CVP and relaying



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.
