OK.
So about a month and a half ago, I got a Firebox X. I configured it and it worked fine for about three weeks. Then it decided to block e-mails to some domains.
At first, I thought there is no way it is the firewall, but I can't telnet to the receivers e-mail server from inside the network, but I can from my router on the other side of the firewall.
I put our old Firebox II back in place (after I reconfigured it completely) and it worked fine for about three weeks.
Now there are e-mails held up in the Exchange outbound Queue with "Destination host unreachable"
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?
Thanks,
Jamie
 
Is this a reverse lookup issue? Is the External of the Firebox your MX record? If it is not, is One-to-One NAT setup so that Outgoing mail actually comes from the registered IP? Just some ideas.
 
Thanks for the reply.
Reverse lookup works just fine. Checked with External of the firebox is not the MX record, but I do have one to one nat set up.
Should I have one to one NAT set up for outgoing as well as incoming?
