I'm having a problem in that no matter who connects to
the server on port 25 to send e-mail, the server shows
the connecting address to be [127.0.0.1]

220 clientdomain.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service,
Version: 6.0.3790.0 ready at Wed, 11 Aug 2004 08:11:43 -
0500
EHLO smtp.somedomain.com
250-clientdomain.com Hello [127.0.0.1]

This in turn prevents internal hosts from properly
relaying since everything internal/external shows up as
the address 127.0.0.1. I've looked everywhere I can
think to look in the SMTP conenctor, DNS, and ESM
properties. Details of my setup are below.

SBS2003 Premium w/ ISA Installed
Two nics - 1 directly connection to the Internet and one
connected to the internal network
Exchange 2003 (no SP)
I've got a tunnel from this machine to a remote Windows
Server 2003 machine. This routes internal LAN traffic to
securely to the other cororate LAN.

I can't seem to figure this one out and I can't find
anything on google or MS Support. Does anyone have any
thoughts?
