<pre>
	Hi,

	I'm trying to get mail by a AltaVista Firewall for UNIX 2.0 but 
it simple IS NOT WORKING, all services are OK but mail nevers get on the 
Firwall (in or out) if I review the /var/adm/syslogs/mail.log it's 
empty... I'm using the next config...


	---------- - External web Server www.shcp.gob.mx
	|	 | - Primary DNS for domain "shcp.gob.mx"
	|	 | - Mailhub... Satus WORKING...	    ----------
	---------- - 200.4.80.33 shcp.shcp.gob.mx	    |Router  |
	    |						    ----------
	    |						  	 |
    |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
				|
		RED NET		|External Interface "fwall.shcp.gob.mx"
				|IP:  200.4.80.37 Mask:255.255.255.0	
			 ---------------
			 |	       |
			 |	       |
			 |	       |
			 ---------------
				|Internal Interface "gatekeeper.shcp.gob.mx"
				|IP: 10.1.1.254 Mask:255.255.255.0
				|
     |----------------------------------------------------------------|
	    |
	    |
	--------- - Intranet web Server
	|	| - "Primary Domain Name Server" for Intranet 
	|	| - Domain: shcp.gob.mx
	--------- - IP: 10.1.1.1 Mask 255.255.255.0
		  - Mailhub: Internal WORKING fine 
		  - DNS boot file contains the two lines:forwarders 10.1.1.254 
					 		 slave
		  - DNS resolution its working fine inside and out...


		
      In the firewall DNS configuration form I put as follow....


      DNS Configuration  
      type:					Hidden DNS
      Domain Name:				shcp.gob.mx
      Firewall Name Server:			fwall.shcp.gob.mx
      IP Address:				200.4.80.37
      Internal Primary Name Server:		www1.shcp.gob.mx
      IP Address (Internal Primary NS):		10.1.1.1
      External (Secondary) Firewall Name	
      Server:					dns.shcp.gob.mx
      Internal Mail Hub:			www1.shcp.gob.mx

      The I got this configuration files....

      Your questions refer to MX as an entry in the DNS or to the domain
*.mx???

      For the first the MX entry there is the entry in both DNS internel and
extenal....

      The mx as a domain is the geographical domain for Mexico and "*.gob.mx"
      refers to the goverment domains...... as "*.com.mx" is for comercial
sites...
