Hi Jeffrey,
 
Everything looks like from your current configuration
 
lets say your domain name is xyz.com and your e-mail id is xyz.com">abcxyz.com now If I send you an e-mail, my smtp server will check the domain name xyz.com and it will retrieve the IP address 222.222.222.333. Since everything is correct at your end and the mail will be delivered to 222.222.222.333 which is your smtp server. To get the mail delivered to 222.222.222.222 either you should ask your registering authority to change the domain name or you interchange the ip address of your smtp server and anti-span device.
 
Additionally you may change the setup at firewall itself.
 
no static (inside,outside) smtpserver smtpserver netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0 
no static (inside,outside) antispam antispam netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
static (inside,outside)  antispam smtpserver netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
 
Here you will bind your registered ip to the ip of spam device.
 
Hope this will work. Let me know if you require further help.
 
Also you should note that your ant-spam device is configured to delver the scanned mails to smtp server. for outgoing mails you mail configure smtp server to deliver mails to anti-spam device so that outbound mails are scanned and then delivered.
 
Thanks & Regards

Subject: [PIX_Firewall] Port Forwarding/Redirecting

This can't be very difficult to do but damn if I can't get it to work.

I have read over and over again every example I've found on the web
to no avail.

I've got a PIX 515 v6.3.
Anti-spam device behind firewall.
smtp server behind firewall.

My PIX is up and running with no troubles as is the smtp server (have
been for a few years now), we just added the anti-spam device, I know
I could do this via DNS and MX records if I have to, but would like
to do it with port forwarding/redirecting.

Trying to forward ALL incoming smtp traffic to the anti-spam device
which will then either kill spam or forward good mail to the smtp
server.

Internet ---incomming traffic---->  PIX ---smtp traffic---> antispam -
---> smtp server
         ;           ;           ;      |
           ;           ;           ;    |
  ;           ;           ;           ;  V
    ;           ;           ;     all other traffic

Assume PIX outside IP = 111.111.111.111
Assume antispam IP    = 222.222.222.222
Assume smtp server IP = 222.222.222.333

All IPs are static, no dhcp, no nat.

Current config looks like this (some parts removed as not necessary):

interface ethernet0 auto
interface ethernet1 auto
nameif ethernet0 outside security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100
names
name 222.222.222.222 antispam
name 222.222.222.333 smtpserver
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host smtpserver eq domain
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host smtpserver eq ssh
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host smtpserver eq pop3
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host smtpserver eq smtp
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host smtpserver eq imap4
access-list ACL_OUT permit udp any host smtpserver eq domain
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host antispam eq ssh
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host antispam eq smtp
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host antispam eq domain
access-list ACL_OUT permit udp any host antispam eq domain
access-list ACL_OUT permit udp any host antispam eq ntp
access-list ACL_OUT permit tcp any host antispam eq www
ip address outside 111.111.111.111 255.255.255.252
ip audit info action alarm
ip audit attack action alarm
nat (inside) 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0
static (inside,outside) smtpserver smtpserver netmask 255.255.255.255
0 0
static (inside,outside) antispam antispam netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
access-group ACL_OUT in interface outside

#Configed as above all smtp traffic goes to the smtp server as normal
and all users get their eamil with no problems at all (have been for
years).
#according to the example at the cisco site I made the following
change:

Changed - static (inside,outside) smtpserver smtpserver netmask
255.255.255.255 0 0
   ;  to - static (inside,outside) tcp smtpserver smtp antispam smtp
netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

#Nothing happens, all smtp traffic appears to go directly to the smtp
server, users still getting all emails. Yes the antispam machine is
on and ready to accept incoming smtp traffic.

If the above config looks okay, then I'll try to dig deeper via logs
to see whats up.

Thank in advance for any help.
