If you have not specified a Relayhost, how then is the email getting out? You have specified port 125 (on the ASSP server?). By doing that, the way I understand it, you're creating a dead-end. ASSP uses the Relayhost to respond to your requests. > Im not sure why ASSP isnt "kicking in" and picking up mails > to the localdomain reserved for email and blockreporting.... > ho hum Because you have no Relayhost specified. > Ive tried simulating using another outbound MTA after assp > with the one from the ISP, but no go.

Ok, if it's making it out to the ISP, then it's not going to work. I failed to mention that you're probably going to have to add a route within the outbound MTA that sends emails with your domain name back to your GW 6.5 MTA and not out to your ISP. If not, the outbound MTA will assume it's supposed to keep the email moving out of your network. > the Default gateway on the GWIA box is the private address of > the ASSP box and the ASSP's box's DG is the ISPs DG. So I > assume my IP routing is ok. Do you mean the default gateway as in "THE DEFAULT GATEWAY" or the default for outbound emails? It shouldn't be "THE DEFAULT GATEWAY". This is not correct IP routing unless your ASSP box is setup as a router. > mail is coming and going, just ASSP is not "hearing" the > [email protected] requests It probably is, but has no way to respond because of the Relayhost field being blank. Try it again with a separate outbound MTA. I'm going to assume you've seen this before. http://www.magicvillage.de/~Fritz_Borgstedt/assp/ASSP%20Advanced%20Flow But if not, please read it (you may have to copy/paste the text into your web browser). The scenario I envision for you is the first flow picture on the page. It really is a simple setup and will work everytime if setup properly (imagine ASSP and the SMTP relay on the same physical hardware). This picture has a grey box around ASSP and SMTP relay titled DMZ. I don't think you even need to go this far (mine's on my LAN - My firewall has NAT'd port 25 to my ASSP box so nothing else is visible from the internet), but you can if you want to be really safe. This scenario will easily work with your PIX.
