Lotus Notes mail with MS office attachment can't go through PIX Firewall

[wellsgz]

There is a Lotus Notes Server behind a PIX firewall, while it send the mail with microsoft office attachemnt to the Lotus Notes Server outside the firewall, the mail will be lost~

But if i zip the file into .zip or .rar file and send it, there is no such error~

The two lotus notes communicate with each other use port 1352, anyone meet the same problem before?

Best regrads,

If the 2 Lotus Notes server running MAIL servers i.e. on port 25 for email exchange, then try disabling payload inspection for SMTP as follows;

no fixup protocol smtp 25

Lotus Notes could be using ESMTP, hence not supported on PIX. It only supprt SMTP.

Thank you for your reply~

But the notes guys said that 2 notes servers just use port 1352 to communicate, for both control and data~

and we just configure the outside server to communicate the inside server with port 1352 but no any other ports~

so strange
