It works flawlessly - I tried to look through for mail carefully but didn't find anything, sorry. Please add a ``log'' parameter to your firewall rules and look where the packets go and how they look like (and you can give us some useful excerpt from it, I mean, what happens to the packet(s) on their way?) You could even tcpdump -i fxp1 to see which packets go through that net. I think the packets coming back from your internal SMTP server don't pass natd, because you do divert those packets if they go via fxp0. A private nework (10.0/8, 172.I.was.to.lazy.to.look.in./etc/hosts, 192.168/16) should never be routed to the outer world, maybe that's the simple reason. Remove the ``via fxp0'' parameter from the divert rule. Good luck, Martin -- /| /| | /| / ,,You know, there's a lot of opportunities, / |/ | artin |/ |/ elk if you're knowing to take them, you know, there's a lot of opportunities, Freiberg/Saxony, Germany if there aren't you can make them, mw@sax.de / mw@theatre.sax.de make or break them!''
