Determining Sender IP Address In Deployments with Incoming Relays

Example Environments with Incoming Relays
shows a very basic example of an incoming relay. Mail from IP address 7.8.9.1 appears to
come from IP address 10.2.3.4 because the local MX/MTA is relaying mail to the Cisco appliance.
Figure 13-4
Mail Relayed by MX/MTA — Simple
shows two other, slightly more complicated examples of how mail may be relayed inside the
network and how mail may be processed by several servers within the network before it is passed to the
Cisco appliance. In example A, mail from 7.8.9.1 passes through the firewall and is processed by an MX
and an MTA before being delivered to the Cisco appliance. In example B, mail from 7.8.9.1 is sent to a
load balancer or other type of traffic shaping appliance and is sent to any one of a range of MXs prior to
being delivered to the Cisco appliance.
