No problemo. I appreciate the help. Obviously, I'm in over my head...

So the relay.xxx machines in the log are the relay hosts for our network.
The mailin machine are the incoming mail servers.

When an email for the domain that I administer comes in it first gets to the
mailin.xxx server, this server then sees that it is meant for the
services.mydomain.com domain and passes it the the dialog.corp.dymain.com
server for processing.

Thinking this setup is what is the proxy_interfaces option was meant for I
added the ip addresses of the mailin machines...

Is that the information you needed?
