Hi Colin, SecureNAT is a key issue with the ISA firewall. Reread the chapter in the book about ISA client types :) The request and responses paths need to be the same. No problem using different devices and paths for inbound and inbound relay, but the request/response path has to be the same.

Were actually configuring ISA to route SMTP to a Symantec Brightmail server first then onto Exchange 2003. For the purposes of validating the ISA config however we pointed ISA directly at Exchange for the Inbound SMTP policy but Exchange still sends outbound SMTP through Brightmail. Do we still need to configure Exchange as a SecureNAT client of the ISA firewall? Also, I'm not sure I understand fully what it means and why we would need to configure SecureNAT? Thanks for your reply and help! /colin ________________________________ From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sun 6/19/2005 11:00 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: How do you configure the ISA in a PIX DMS environment? http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Colin, Is the Exchange Server a SecureNAT client of the ISA firewall?

However, I cannot seem to figure this out. My DMZ network is configured as 172.16.0.0 and my Internal network is configured as 192.168.0.0. Currently the PIX routes my external mail requests to my ISA box at 172.16.1.20 and ISA has it's "Internal" network configured to use the 192 address. I create an SMTP mail publishing rule to listen on External and forward to the 192 address of my Exchange server but I am getting Failed Denied connections when I test the connection by telnetting to the external mail domain at port 25. Please help!
