NAT rule is showing private address when connecting

multihosts

I have a NAT for SMTP port 25 that works with no problem from external IP addresses but not from other WAN IP aliases. So I had to create a 1:1 rule for all IP aliases with NAT reflection enabled and now the NAT rule works with the the IP aliases. There is one problem: the destination host is showing the private IP of the source and not the public IP. What do I need to do to fix it?

Thanks in advance

@multihosts said in NAT rule is showing private address when connecting:

Are you talking about inbound or outbound traffic?
If inbound, what do you mean with "from other WAN IP aliases"? For my understanding, a WAN IP cannot be the source then.

The source IP and destination IP are both Wan alias IPs.

I believed I explained the issue incorrectly. Here is the correction:

I have a NAT for SMTP port 25 that works with no problem from external IP addresses (public IP) to a Virtual IP. But not from other WAN Virtual IPs. So I had to create a 1:1 rule for all IP aliases with NAT reflection enabled and now the NAT rule works connecting from other Virtual IPs. There is one problem: the destination host is showing the private IP of the source and not the public IP.
