Well, thanks to you all, things are resolved... Turns out my stupid
question held the answer. The firewall was configured for PAT, so it
would accept inbound traffic for the .211 interface, but .210 would
reply outbound. SinceDNS and rDNS resolved .211, there was no MX
record or rDNS for .210. I needed a static NAT instead. Now it works
perfectly.

Your suggestion to turn on logging and then actually seeing the
traffic was the key.

My sincere thanks to you all. I'm very grateful for all of your help.

Regards,

Michael
