I am sending mail to company A. That is not located on our server. I have mailserverA that is the main pop/imap mail server. I have mailserverB that is the ASSP smtp mail server. When I send mail for companyA why would mailserverB pass it to mailserverA for sending? Why wouldn't the ASSP mailserverB just send it directly. I have incoming port 25 closed at my firewall for mailserverA and think this may be causing an issue when mailserverA attempts to connect to CompanyZ's mailserver. I would have thought it would be sent via mailserverB.
