  17. We do the same thing and we're just a Uni :-).  The only odd things is
  18. that SMTP connections are handled (even though the MX points elsewhere)
  19. but ICMP's are not passed.  Our configuration will let ICMP's get to the
  20. box but all other services are blocked (ie. all MX's point to our
  21. central mail hub).
