hi,
 
fw1 security server noimally rejects an email with mailbox unavailable if it is addressed to an invalid destination address or is coming from an invalid source-address.
 
I use fw1 security server and never had problems like that.
 
cheers

	Betreff: [FW-1] SMTP Security Server and "550 Mailbox Unavailable" errors
	
	

	We've been using the SMTP security server to front-end our Sendmail systems
	for some time.
	While running Firewall-1 4.1, we very occasionally saw e-mail bounced by the
	firewall with the error in the subject line - "Mailbox Unavailable". It
	wasn't frequent enough to be noticable, but happened now and then.
	
	We upgraded to NG FP3. All hell broke loose - a large percentage of our
	inbound e-mail was getting bounced with "Mailbox Unavailable". A few
	searches using Google have found that there are others that have apparently
	seen this problem, which is "fixed" by turning off the option that has the
	firewall add a "Received" line to the incoming mail.  Unfortunately, doing
	this makes spam tracking impossible.
	
	However, given the fact that others have posted about this on this mailing
	list, *Checkpoint claims they've never heard about anyone having this
	problem!!!*
	
	Is that true? Has *nobody else* reported these errors to Checkpoint? Or, are
	they just giving us a story?
	Is anyone else working with them on a fix? Does turning off the addition of
	the "Received" line really fix this problem?
