Thanks for the reply.
Well the piece of code was testing for the implementation of smtp
proxy. So the server has to act as a tproxy.
I had resolved the issue. Actually my server is running in the bridge
mode and I traced the issue to the config parameter:
CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_NRES
if this is set then I am having this problem so I :
# CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_NRES is not set
and it worked fine. I am not sure why it resolved but it did. Will it
affect something else...I am not sure about that.
Thanks
Sai
