Please explain why.

I'll grant you I left off the CIDR mask.  My example should have been:
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,IP.Of.Fortimail.Firewall/32

Are you now an open mail relay?


That depends on how both hosts are configured. In my case the relaying host only listens on 127.0.0.1, so any mail relayed through the MX originates on that box.

In the case of the OP, the MX should be configured to only accept mail from the firewall when the final recipient is internal.

Is there an alternative way to get the MX to accept mail from the firewall?
