        The 15 servers are Solaris servers running sendmail 8.9.x. They
are all set to relay all mail to mailhost.techtarget.com (which is the
postfix mail hub).

        As you requested:

        attached.

        Further info which may help: searchasp.com is defined in virtual,
and does work from the outside just fine. These internal machines don't
work mailing to any domain besides techtarget.com (the domain in which
they all reside)

        Thanks for the help.
