But that's exactly the point of the original question. We've looked  
and can't find out where, so we ask for helpful suggestions as to how  
this condition might have arisen in our set up.

As mentioned, the firewall IS set up to nuke outside traffic to the  
amavisd ports. The question is how does the mail get past assp? The  
full header seems to be the only tool that can give us the clues. I'm  
not sure that the mail server log would, necessarily, give us any more  
information, unless it included port information that is not in the  
header.

> and avoiding any host to directly reach the SMTP server

Again, that was the original question. How COULD it do that? I can't  
see where, despite investigating it. Nor can Max (which surprises  
me). :-/  For example, can assp get too busy (or something like that)  
and simply pass mail on, unchecked, to the mail server?
