The source address change on the Raptor FW likely occurred because
Raptor is a proxy based FW. One idea for the Checkpoint, is to create a
node object that defines the LAN interface address on the FW that is
shared with the mail server. Next create a manual DNAT rule that states
all traffic going to that destination, be NATd to the IP address defined
by the node object. What you will have is all the Internet addresses
coming in and being NATd with the source address being the FW interface
that is shared with the mail server. It will not proxy traffic but will
provide source address changes if that is what your after.

It seems that Checkpoint has a limitation that I did not have with my
Raptor firewall.  In the past, all incoming requests to our email server
hid the address of the incoming mail server.  This made it easy for us
to prevent our email server from being used as a relay from the
internet, while at the same time, allowing all of our other internal
mail servers use this server as a relay.

Has anyone gotten around this limitation by building a set of supernets
that would include all possible Class A, B, and C networks?  If so, did
it work?
