Hi,
We were using pop3 before for our email, but now we have our own exchange server, so what do i need to do inorder for the mail to be forwarded on to our exchange server, which sits behind the pix 501, we are using version 6.3
Thanks for all your help

smtp (tcp 25) is used for routing email in and out the exchange server; whereas pop3 (tcp 110) or imap (tcp 143) are used for retrieving email by user from the exchange server.
e.g.
access-list inbound permit tcp any host
further, one-to-one nat or port forwarding needs to be configured and it depends on the number of public ip you've got.
for one public ip, port forwarding is the only option:
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 25
for multiple public ips, one-to-one static may be configured:
static (inside,outside)

I know I didn't start this thread but I have a very similiar problem, so I apologise for hijacking this, hope no one is offended.
I am trying to do the same thing route smtp traffic through to an exchange server behind a PIX506 and a router. the router would appear to be forwarding all traffic to the firewall (as expected) but the firewall refuses to route smtp to the exchange IP.
below are configs of 506.

I think I may be a little confused about the structure of the rules as I have setup a SMTP any rule that should allow the smtp traffice access, and a static route through the firewall for the smtp traffic.
I am using the pix device manager to setup rules but this isn't exactly straight forward as far as logically creating rules.
Any help is much appreciated.
