In order to solve the problem of internal network machines reaching other internal machines using their external address on linux firewalls that I have installed that use IPTables I've had to create a NAT rule that remaps the source address to that of the firewall's internal address. The command i

Dear Rob Arends - Thanks for all of that... I worked all that out... As you said I was very close... However, I could not find the same specific article you found... The last hurtle is how to lockdown xMail to only accept relay mail from Postini while allowing authenticated eMail from anyone.

Jeff, There are firewalls out there that consider traffic in and out of the *same* interface to be illegal and they deny it. Depending on your perspective and requirements, this is a good thing. Also some firewalls require the traffic to pass-through to be NAT'd. If you don't have the same-interf
