Filtered-Smtp; Finger - Watchguard Firebox X1000 Reference Manual

CHAPTER 4: Types of Services

Filtered-SMTP

Filtered SMTP allows SMTP traffic (email) without using the SMTP proxy.
One use of Filtered-SMTP eliminates the need for outgoing mail to be
routed through the SMTP proxy twice. With the Filtered SMTP icon
between the trusted network and the mail server on the optional network,
mail is only proxied when it is outbound to the Internet.
