Duplicate Internet email entries showing in Audit Log

We are running SBG 8.02. In the Audit log, when I search for inbound internet emails such as gmail.com or hotmail.com I notice that the audit logs show 2 entries for 1 email. And it shows 2 actions that the appliance applied. I redacted our domain address, hence the  ------.com. The result is the emails do get delivered which is fine but whats up with the second entry that says "Message rejected by MTA"?

Here's a couple exampes:

So I found this document that

So I found this document that discusses Aliasing, 

 
Title: 'Message rejected by MTA due to alias transformation'
Document ID: 2009042211325354
> Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-gate.nsf/docid/2009042211325354?Open&seg=ent

However, the odd thing is that the mail is showing "None" for the address on the second line. I can't say as I know what is happening there, but are you doing any aliasing that might be the culprit?

Let me know.
Thanks!

Hi there,

What's your environment setup? Is the SBG Appliance at the gateway ? Are you using LDAP ?

Thank you,

 The Scanner appliance sits

 The Scanner appliance sits in the DMZ as the gateway and the Control Center sits in our lan. We are using LDAP. No issues with LDAP in our logs...

You said you are using

You said you are using LDAP Right? Are you seeing recipients being rewritten in the Audit Log? Can you actually post a screenshot of exactly what you see in the Message Audit Log screen results?

Hi, I've seen a similar issue

Hi,

I've seen a similar issue in the past and is documented in the following KB article:
service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-gate.nsf/docid/2009101313280854
I remember there was an upstream device blocking the inbound SMTPO EHLO command forcing the remote MTA to fail back to HELO (apologies if this is too technical).
Hope it helps. Let me know.

Regards,

Federico
