Re: Private IP Address from Exchange

The mail server has to establish two-way communication with any other
mail server it talks to.  In order to do this the other server must
know it's address (or it's proxy's address and port.) That's just the
way TCP works.  UDP...not so much.

Hi experts!!!

I dont know if it is a problem from Exchange but i thing so, let me explain...

When i send a message from my local area to yahoo, the local ip
address of my local mail box server is shown in Internet, i would like
to know if there is a way to hide the local ip address.

My client has Exchange Server SMTPSVC (6.0.3790.1830)

Here is the Header i mentioned from Yahoo ->check how 192.168.0.106 is
showed!!!:

Take into account, we have a CheckPoint filtering out the connections
(if you have a recommendation through this Firewall, i also has ISA
Server)

Finally its important to say that also the smtp-out.soluciones.com is
a local ip inside my network like mailbox.soluciones.com, but the
first one(smt-out.soluciones.com) doesnt get showed on Internet.

How could i hide the local ip address??????

Thanks in Advance for your help.

Microsoft says "it is the way the protocol works!!!", following the related RFC.
