Re: [LUG] SMTP through the Firewall

[Rick Timmis <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had a look, I cannot see anyway of getting a copy of this file, so 

Here's a rough setup guide

Port Forwarding
TCP on port 25 Forwarded to 192.163.1.3 on Port 25

External Services
TCP port 113 Masq to All
TCP port   80 Masq to ALL
TCP port   25 Masq to 192.163.1.3

Couple of Temp ports whilst i try to fix this problem
TCP port 6667 Masq to 192.168.1.200   My Laptop
TCP port   25  Masq to 192.168.1.200   So i can get Lug list mail out
TCP port  110 Masq to 192.168.1.200  So i can Lug List mail in on POP

Hope this explains the setup

Thanks RIck
