RE: Exchange Server 2000 and Cisco Pix

[anthonyverrill <anthony () verrill net>]

only problem we've had regarding Fix-up protocol on PIX is for user
authentication to the Exchange smtp server. With smtp fix-up running on PIX,
this doesn't seem to work. Without it, authentication works fine.

I don't see why you should have to disable the smtp fixup -- we were
running exchange and exchange clients on 2000 with no problems. 

Although this is probably yet another case of M$ forcing you to lower
security so that their software runs.

The command on the pix to disable it is:

        no fixup smtp

--john
