Can anyone help me with my PiX firewall. There is an Exchange server
192.168.2.11 inside. The outbound emails are blocked and can not reach
outside! Can anyone figure out where is my mistake in the configuration

file. I will appreciate any help!

There is the configuration:

That's a fairly old version, and there have been a number of security
fixes since then, including some you are entitled to for free. You
really should update.

I suggest removing the conduit and replacing them with an access-group
applied to the outside interface. conduit is obsolescent and not
certain to work with ACLs.

Your conduit statements appear to have some redundancy: you first
allow any packet from 141.152.97.32 255.255.255.224 in (wherever a
translation can be found); then later you talk specifically about
the host 141.152.97.35 (which is part of the .32/.224) to host
206.158.107.99 (which is part of the 'any' of the earlier command.)

fixup protocol smtp 25

Try removing that first - it tries to make SMTP more "secure" by blocking
all but the basic SMTP commands, and removing all ESMTP commands, and I've
had problems with it before.

The only other thing I can think to check is that your Exchange server is
resolving DNS records correctly, and that it's gateway is correctly set to
the PIX in it's TCP/IP properties. It's amazing how easy it is to forget to
set these sometimes - the classic mistake being to set the DNS servers to
the public IP address for your own DNS servers inside the PIX.
