Hi there, Been working on mail systems since I seem to be attacked by unknown's. Decided to setup Exchange RPC. I also have an SMTP relay. Have the rules for: 135 TCP Outbound 1025 - 65534 TCP Outbound On both my ISA boxes in the back to back. Also, external ISA is forwarding to a mail relay in the DMZ That talks with the back end exchange box. Sometimes I see rpc rules listed in log but, nothing is returned. It is not consistent so I can't really tell what is going on. Yup still running ISA 2000. What conflicts can Anyone see in this type of setup? Thank you, Joseph
