Is the one remote client connected to your site perhaps via an
internal/compan wan connection, whereas the other two are via the

If thats the guess, the pix is 100% the problem. It blocks ESMTP by

I am also in charge of the Pix. The first thing I did when I took over
running it was to "no fixup protocol smtp"
