Christoph:

Add:

no fixup protocol smtp 25

to your configuration file.

The Mailguard facility in the PIX _sounds_ like a good idea but it seems to
break every SMTP MTA that I ever tried it with.

Subject: [fw-wiz] Exchange Server 2000 and Cisco Pix

Hello wizards,

I have a newly installed Exchange Server 2000 behind
my Pix and did receive an error from a mail client
when trying to connect to the Exchange server.
Microsoft refers to Cisco without really being
specific - at least I could not find the solution at
Cisco's web page. Anyone here knows what I have to do?

Here's MS solution (Article ID: Q295164) for the
problem:

"RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, disable SMTP inspection on the
firewall. If you do not know the command to disable
SMTP inspection, contact Cisco." 

Is this the fixup command I have to use and disable
smtp? 

Thanks for your help in advance!
