Have a 200 ICP Rel 5.0 using unified messaging. (Voicemail to email).  The 200 ICP uses the standard Port 25 to send outgoing mail to whatever IP Address provided to it.  We have a IT Administrator who will not use or open port 25 for SMTP relaying.  Even if he can use access control to limit what source addresses the smtp traffic comes from.  I can ping his server but can not telnet into the smtp server.

What do I do? He had allowed it to work using a public ip address using port forwarding.  Then he decided to remove that.  I was thinking of putting a router internally and do the port forwarding there.

My question is has anyone ever had to deal with this and isnt it possible to create serveral smtp virtual connectors and apply access control to them?

I've actually had to deal with something similar. Only its Verizon, and their DSL that won't open or allow traffic over port 25. We ended up buying a product called QK SMTP server that runs on a pc, that does the SMTP forwarding for us.
