Hi Brian, How did you create a packet filter to allow inbound access to a LAT host? Thanks!

After a bit of troubleshooting, we discovered in the logs that all packets were being dropped from that customers mail server by the firewall service. Now we have a mail publishing rule that has been working fine for over a year...we send and receive email just fine over the internet with that published Exchange 5.5 bridgehead. Why on earth would it single out one particular mail server to drop all packets from? The only solution we could come up with was to create a packet filter to specifically allow traffic from that remote IP...to the published IP on the ISA server and everything worked fine. I had verified the mail publishing rule, verified there are no other packet filters configured to deny traffic like this...I simply cant figure out what went wrong here. I can see no configuration changes from when it was working fine..till now.
