I don't know why it's listing 207.253.1.70 because my exchange server mail.ville.blainville.qc.ca is for 207.253.1.67

Thanks for helping me

is .70 your gateway or some anti-spam appliance?

ASKER

It's my checkpoint firewall with antispam it it
if the mail is going through the firewall (as if exchange is using the firewall as smarthost) then the message would appear as if it was coming from the firewall on .70

if you send a message from there to a gmail address and look at the headers, i'm guessing it shows .70 as received from?
yes

Received: from mail.ville.blainville.qc.ca ([207.253.1.70])
It's a little strange setup then though, because incoming mail would go to .67, (that's where the mx points to). So if your exchange smarthost is pointing to .70 that means you're scanning all outgoing messages for spam, but not the incoming ones...
.70 shows vpn?
vpn.ville.blainville.qc.ca [207.253.1.70]
It's a checkpoint fw with antispam on it

We are scanning incoming mails arriving to it (check screenshot)

207.253.1.67 is a NAT for our exchange server in our network

207.253.1.70 is our main ip address for the checkpoint firewall

Thanks i had two object in my checkpoint fw

One object with a static nat of 207.253.1.67 and one object with not nat.

I deleted the second one and now everything is fine and no more error message.  If i checked the headers now i see 207.253.1.67 instead of 207.253.1.70

Thanks you guys

Seth: Do you have a good link to configure SPF record for my exchange 2013 on my domain Windows 2012

Thanks !
