Corwin and Bro --

Well, together you helped me sort it out!  Thank you!

Corwin - you gave me the idea to use a virtual IP address,
and Bro helped me change my point of view.

I was originally trying to do it all by changing PORTS.
Instead, I now am doing it by IP addresses.

Here's a quick rundown:

external SMTP hits router - router forwards to 192.168.1.101:25
(this was my new virtual IP address for ASSP)
ASSP, listening on that IP and Port combo then makes the 
SMTP connection to my email server at 192.168.1.100:25
The Server then processes the valid emails and routes them,
both internally and externally still through 192.168.1.100:25

Once I changed to setting this up by IP address, I ran into
one setting change I had to make to SLMail - there is a setting
that binds SLMail to one or all IP Address the machine has, and
I had to make sure it was only bound to the 192.168.1.100 IP address.

Voila!  (or Viola!, for us musically inclined folks)

Thanks again.
I now return this list to the former status where I read and learn.

What are you using on the inside as an MUA or MSA? SLMail just seems to
be a
simple POP/SMTP server. You shouldn't need to change the internal side
of
things at all. Your Submission Agent should send it's messages via port
25,
so it goes through ASSP to automatically build your whitelist. ASSP will
send the messages back into SLMail which will then send them out
externally.
Perhaps SLMail thinks these messages are being spoofed and is blocking
them.
