Re: Can somebody help me with setting up a server behind a sdsl router?

Jason!
Did you guys try
1. enabling 'nat translations' on the router.
2. setting up 'nat server list' and if one already exists, (which is 
generally the case) add your mail server's ip to the list.
I believe your problem can be solved by doing just that.
good luck!
