We're testing SF and have it listening on IP:25, our mail server is on the same IP listening on IP:2525.... Everything works good except when email is sent to an account on our mail server and is not forwarded to the remote address on file for that email account.

Example:

mailto:test@daclife.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - test@daclife.com is setup on the mail server to forward to - mailto:xxx@hotmail.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - xxx@hotmail.com
When a test email is sent to mailto:test@daclife.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - test@daclife.com , it is approved and forwarded to IP:2525... BUT the email never sends it out from the server and it never arrives at Hotmail.

Is there anyway to get the email forwarding through all the way to Hotmail?

Hmmm ... I have a hotmail account and just tried the same thing and it DID make it to hotmail.  What does the logging on your forwarding mail server say it is doing?

Brian,

Is your mail server sending out emails to other address on the internet? Can it send an email to xxx@hotmail.com directly (without forwarding)?

If all the above works fine, can you check if the email is actually sent, but then rejected by hotmail? It could happen if for example hotmail is using SPF (Sender Policy Framework - spf.pobox.com) filters and sees email originating from your server that does not meet the SPF requirements.

Roberto, Thanks I got this figured out.  All my "little problems" went away after I got the SMTP ports listening and sending correctly.  Luckily our mail server (Mercur) has an Internal SMTP port & and external SMTP port.  The SpamFilter is working GREAT!  We'll eval a few more weeks then purchase if all goes well.
