IMHO, this is a firewall issue, not IMail. The firewall should handle
mapping outside IP addresses to inside ones. For proper firewall
installation, the IMail sever should not be aware nor be reachable from
an outside IP address -- that's what the firewall is for. Which
firewall? We're still configuring around a new Cisco PIX box, so I can
"feel your pain" and my own besides!
