The only 'firewall' running is NAT on a Cisco 2500-series router, but the NAT entry for the mailserver is static, one-to-one. I want (and I could do this before the move) to connect to the mailserver from any given machine anywhere on the Net.

Do you want to connect from a host behind the NAT router to a host that's located outside? -Hanspeter ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Nonchalantly," said the poet, "For if you wear your gravity, you'll have nothing left to show." _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
