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.

Because you have no Relayhost specified.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kind Regards,
Brett
