Hello,
I have a question regarding SecuRemote users
sending email to my internal email server (behind the firewall). This
seems like a pretty basic thing that should work, or that others would have
asked this question, yet I couldn't find the info in the
archives.
Here's the scenario and the problem
-
People take their work laptops home to do work at
home. Their mail client (Outlook, POP) is configured to retrieve and
send email with our internal email server. They have SecuRemote
installed so they can reach the internal mail server over their ISP
connection.
My access rule in the firewall says
Retrieving email works fine, as well as other
connections to internal hosts.
However, when sending email, the mail server sees
the originator of the incoming connection as the user's ISP address and
doesn't realize the connection came through the firewall and hence rejects the
mail (when not destined for an internal user) due to relay
restrictions.
Specifics - Firewall 4.0, not using the SMTP
Security Server resource.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thank you,
Elaine
