How do I re-direct smtp traffic from PIX to Internal Mail Server?

gdi
Level 1
Level 1

I have a PIX 506E (PIXOS 6.2(2) ) with a single routeable static IP address (10.20.30.123 in config below) using PAT to translate internal traffic to the outside interface. From home I access the internal network via VPN (split-tunnel arrangement using Cisco VPN Client 3.6) in order to get mail from the internal mail server (working well).

I want to have all traffic to smtp port 25 directed to an internal mail server (192.168.0.22 in config below).

When I try to add a translation rule to redirect port 25 (smtp) from my outside interface ip to my internal mail server (server1) I get the following error message (using PDM 2.0(2)):

"host outside 10.20.30.123 is derived from the IP address of interface outside. You cannot specify translation rule for it"

I instead tried to add an Access Rule to allow traffic from port 25 of the external interface to the internal mail server, and I got the following error:

"No static Network Address Translation (NAT) rule is configured for the destination host or network on interface outside. Would you like to add a static NAT rule for the host or network now?"

QUESTION: How can I redirect all port 25 traffic from my static ip address (which is also the outside interface) to my internal mail server?

Config listing attached at end. All help appreciated!

You can use the outside IP address for port redirection.

Try from command line the following, see if it works;

static (inside,outside) tcp 10.20.30.123 smtp 192.168.0.22 smtp netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

I tried on my PIX and it works from CLI.

Thanks... The port redirect worked (plus access commands)... I am still having problems with Mailguard (fixup protocol smtp etc) in 6.2(2) but will dig deeper before posting.

For the record, the following commands (entered from CLI, not PDM) worked:

access-list 101 permit tcp any host outside_gateway eq smtp

static (inside,outside) tcp outside_gateway smtp internal_mailserver smtp netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

access-group 101 in interface outside
