Re: [foxboro] AW70 XP and smtp

Actually, it is probably more accurate to say that the creators of UNIX
never envisioned malicious users. =


They left everything open and simple to access because all of the users
were literally friends; things change as MS has found.

Newer UNIX based systems have similar issues. Our Solaris 10 port was a
nightmare for many reasons including changed access rules.

Sorry, I should have been clearer.  When I say "firewalled" I usually
mean =

either externally, or internally using products like McAfee, and on a =

handful or all ports, TCP and/or UDP, etc.  And I also stated "remote =

host", but it could also happen on the local box, as "we are smarter

you" products like McAfee will block _outgoing_ ports like SMTP to
protect =

the Internet from your obviously malignant PC.  I swear, I think the

I like most about Unix is that it never assumes you are an idiot.

Glad you got it worked out.

It wasn't the switched off firewall.
It was this sh-t of mcaffee virusscan port blocking rule.

I found it out by checking the system using the port query tool from MS
and googling a bit.

C:\Documents and Settings\Fox\Desktop\portqry>portqry -n mySMTPServer -e
25

Querying target system called:

mySMTPServer=3D20

Attempting to resolve name to IP address...

Name resolved to 10.00.00.000


Error opening socket: 10053


An unspecified Winsock error has been encountered.

Andreas
