      Hi all,

      I'm facing this strange problem on a fresh installation of pfSense version 2.3.1_1.

      I have two WAN:

      WAN_1 192.168.201.0/24 is the default gateway
      WAN_2 192.168.9.0/24 is the one used for all incoming traffic

      No traffic shaping, balancing, ect.

      LAN is 192.168.1.0/24

      SMTP in is allowed on both interfaces.
      I have two NATs, one for each interface, with the relative firewall rule.

      I had to setup a manual Outbout NAT to replace source IP address for the traffic coming from the WAN_2 interface.

      If I disable both firewall rules and create a new floating rule:

      Action : Pass
      Quick : yes | no (doesn't matter, i tryed both)
      Interface: WAN_1 and WAN_2
      Direction : in | any (doesn't matter, tryed both)
      Famili : IPv4
      Protocol : TCP
      Source : any
      Destination : any port 25

      When connecting using the WAN_1 public address everything works fine.
      When using the WAN_2 address I can't connect.

      Enabling log on the rule I can see that the traffic is allowed, the seems like the Outbound NAT is not having effect.

      To me it all seems correct, am I missing something?

      Thank you in advance.
