Tom So Should I just create the packet filter with SMTP outbound or do I need to create protocol rule as well. Thanks again Shobha -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 7:51 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA Alert Action configuration http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Shobha, If the SMTP server is external, then you can't use the built in packet filter because that packet filter is used to allow inbound SMTP access. You need to create a packet filter to allow outbound SMTP access. You need to create packet filters to support applications and services running on the ISA Server itself (in general).
