ETRN and firewall conflict

We have SBS 4.5 and running proxy and Exchange over a dialup with a fixed IP address. It works fine without the firewall, but as soon as we put up the proxy firewall with the appropriate ports open we cannot receive e-mail even though we manually request it from the Exchange management program. Is there a port that the ETRN request needs in addition to the normal SMTP ports?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like a DNS problem.

Check your MX record in your ISP's DNS system. If it's going through the proxy server rather than direct to the Exchange box, you're going to have to change the MX record.
