Pix VPN problem

[ndog4ever]

I have an office setup with a pix vpn solution. Everything is working good, users can access the internal file server and browse the internet ok when they are connected remotely. However, they cannot send emails when they are on the road because the outgoing mail server is rejecting there connection. I am guessing the outgoing mail traffic is going out the split tunnel since there isnt an access-list or some kind of filter for that particular mail server. The mail server resides with our DSL connection, we dont run any internal mail service. If anyone has any suggestions on how to route the mail traffic out the pix's outside interface I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Actually, what is also possible is that whoever is providing the dial-up connection for your remote users might be preventing the flow of SMTP traffic outside of its local domain. This is a not uncommon thing to do to prevent spamming.

you should also be checking your mail server - from the perspective of 'relay server'.
