RE: [IMail Forum] Is this a bug or just a regular day in this business :)

[Adrian Henderson]

Can you show me which KB article talks about this?  I wasn't able to find
it.

Our IMail server is bound to an internal IP address (10.10.10.10), and it
doesn't even know that the external IP address exists or what it is.  The
IMail server, when it sends out packets, says that it is 10.10.10.10.  The
firewall, mapping 10.10.10.10 to 12.12.12.12 changes the TCP/IP packet to
say it is from 12.12.12.12.  Packets coming back in are translated the same
way.  In fact, if the IMail server claimed to be 12.12.12.12, the firewall
would probably drop the packet as being a forged packet.

The server has one nic, and the firewall is a 3com.  The problem has nothing
to do with the firewall.  I *have* to bind it to an outside IP in this case.
It will not send mail otherwise.  Receiving is okay, but it will not send
out.

I guess I will have to pay Ipswitch to figure out why their software is so
buggy.
