Sonicwall Pro NAT

From: ArtK <akrumsee@atomic-mail.com>

I just installed a SonicWall for our server environment.  While most of


the traffic is inbound, we do operate an email server that both sends


and receives email.  I was surprised to discover that this server


appears to the world to be sending mail on the firewall's address.


Inbound mail is accepted on it's native address.  This is causing


problems with reverse DNS configuration.



In our current configuration we are using the IP addresses provided by


our ISP on the servers so we didn't configure NAT.  So if this server


has a native address of say 6.5.4.3, I want outbound mail to be coming


from that address rather than 6.5.4.1, the address of the firewall.



Can anyone help me to configure the Sonicwall to accomplish this?  Do I


need a NAT rule that translates 6.5.4.3 to 6.5.4.3?
