Jeff,
I'm pretty sure the smtp security server doesn't support esmtp, since it
*should* advertise it in the banner if it supports esmtp. You would see
something like
220 CheckPoint FireWall-1 secure ESMTP server
instead of
220 CheckPoint FireWall-1 secure SMTP server
To do your selective relaying, you can also use some sort of
pop-before-smtp method. I've only used them with postfix and not sendmail.
Take a look at DRAC http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/drac/ or the like. I know
both postfix and sendmail support smtp auth, but you would have to let
users connect directly to the smtp server. (Same with pop-before-smtp)
If you must scan the mail, let them connect to the smtp server in the
dmz/public network and use some sort of authentication. Then forward all
mail from that box through the firewall and smtp security server to an
internal mail server. The internal mail server can then forward it to its
final destination. This scheme makes sense in my head, but it's been a long
day.
Hope this helps,
Mark Ingles
