Topic: How do I allow mail relay through my 5.6 or 6.0 box?

[cavok]

I've searched a fair bit, but can't find any guidance on  allowing another fixed IP to send me mail for relaying. I have seen articles on the SME box relaying via others.

The other host has an issue on sending mail to another firewalled device on his shared connection and I want to route mail via my, external SME box.

Any help appreciated.

Use a VPN connection from that box.

Can't you just map tcp port 25 (SMTP) of that host to port 25 of your SME ?

First place I looked. This is for e-smith outbound. The other box isn't an e-smith.

I don't quite understand this. I would dearly like to allow the other, fixed IP to be allowed to do this.

I thought of that, but wouldn't that send the web traffic via me as well?

That depends on how you set up the VPN. If you don't set it up as the default route (there's a checkbox), and don't use the proxy available on the remote server, then web traffic won't go via the VPN.
