The problem is caused due to an error in the SMTP binding functionality of certain devices with ISP load-balancing capabilities. This results in outbound email traffic being load-balanced regardless of the configured WAN binding selection, which may cause sensitive SMTP traffic only destined for a trusted network to be passed over an untrusted connection.
