What version of Check Point are you using?

If you're using the external IP of the firewall as your SMTP server address,
that would explain what you're seeing.

Security Servers have nothing to do with SmartDefense. Check through the
Help for "resources" which is what Check Point calls their security servers.
Usually they are turned of unless they're used in a rule. The cell in the
rule will look "funny" because it will have an arrow thingy rather than just
a word.
