Can't be done, for very good technical reasons. You could *move* the
source port range used by masquerading, but you can't make the
masqeraded packet have the same source port as the original packet.

That's good, they can put pressure on the IT folks in New York, once
you explain to them that the problem is not your fault and is not in
your control. It is NY that broke their email, and only NY can fix
it.
| thanx so much for your help!
Good luck!
