OK, from what I understand now, you need to either configure whatever firewall software is on SuSE to forward connections to certain ports on one of the public IP addresses to the mail server (in shorewall and some other systems, this is "Static NAT"), *or* you can run nportredir, rinetd or uinetd on the squid box to do the same job.
Hopefully, the terms in the above paragraph (port redirection, Static NAT and so on) should give you enough to find something useful. Thanks, off to scan the net.

Agreed, but if we fiddle too much RM will not support the system, which is understandable.
If a supplier does not give you what you need, it is time to change supplier. We've had this thread already? They supply us with what we (not me) purchased...
