      Hi,

      I have a DMZ and on it i have an ecommerce server, and next to it the main mail server. My problem is that when the ecommerce server wants to send an email to me, it does a DNS lookup to find out the MX records, and then attempts to send it to the virtual IP address I have setup for my mail server. It doesn't seem to work out that it actually NAT's back to the machine sat next to it.

      Can you let me know how i fix this issue?

      TIA

      R to the D

          Sorry,

          I have looked at that - any clues on which section?

          Thanks,

            You should pay more attention to what you read.

            Advanced:
            If you want to be able to use NAT-mappings from withing your own LAN disable the checkbox "Disable NAT Reflection"
