when you access your internal mailserver from LAN via your external IP. it _might_ be that your mail server is replying back directly to the host's IP (and not via from that external IP) that initiated the connection. that will not work as far as i now. your one option, like others said, is maintaining an internal dns and that will make things easier. i do that too with dnsmasq. --edel _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
