Hello Patrick, thanks very much for your message ! By the way, some IP addresses in the original message are wrong (read 192.168.3.69 instead of 192.168.1.65), but that's just a typo. Here is the log produced by iptables on 192.168.3.64: Feb 11 20:09:58 gyokuro kernel: ipencap (in): IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=macaddressofreceiverandsender SRC=senderipaddress DST=192.168.3.64 LEN=76 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=41 ID=26562 PROTO=4 Feb 11 20:10:01 gyokuro kernel: ipencap (in): IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=macaddressofreceiverandsender SRC=senderipaddress DST=192.168.3.64 LEN=76 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=41 ID=28099 PROTO=4 Feb 11 20:10:07 gyokuro kernel: ipencap (in): IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=macaddressofreceiverandsender SRC=senderipaddress DST=192.168.3.64 LEN=76 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=41 ID=28322 PROTO=4 And this is tcpdump on 192.168.3.64: 20:09:58.362266 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 41, id 26562, offset 0, flags [none], proto IPIP (4), length 76) senderipaddress > 192.168.3.64: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 35, id 38176, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 56) smtppeeripaddress.37441 > localhost.smtp: S, cksum 0x641c (correct), 3101176972:3101176972(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 547791276 0> I can't see anything odd in the above logs. IPIP encapsulated packets are allowed in... Then if you look at the output from tcpdump, you see that they actually contain a connection request to the port 25 (smtp) from some host with address smtppeeripaddress. But this connection is not forwarded to the appropriate host as specified in the DNAT and MASQUERADE iptables rules. Any idea ?
