So the skinny is - Our company firewall failed on Friday and in order to provide a temporary solution until we receive the new firewall tomorrow, I setup an extra linksys firewall/router that was available. A WRV54G model that was functioning previously.

After setting it up, and forwarding smtp ports to the right IPs, we can send mail externally, but can't receive. Any thoughts? Much thanks.

based on either DNS or other mapped connection? If its outgoing that means the pipe is live and its either a bad acl or ip address on the incoming iface.

POP3 port for receiving email.

I know it's obvious, but you didn't mention it.
