Hmmm, well, that many-to-one mapping is sort of efficient, but not
particularly effective, sure, you can now hand out wierd URLs with explicit
ports, but why?

No, those values are independant of the pin-hole NAT, they tell the M10 what
ports to respond to with what protocol. Ie, you could set up telnet on a
different port... again, why?

Here's the clue. Seems like in upgrading the software they have removed the
ability to respond differently to port 80 requests on the Internal vs.
External interface. Currently I can http to my M10 internally on port 80,
external requests to port 80 are mapped through to my server. Now this is not
allowed? More wierd.

Can you save it or does the error message just loop?

Hamish.

PS. I appreciate all this may have been said already, but these Web mail
clients are not the most pleasant to use.
