Hi, Folks !

I have an Exchange 5.5 SP4 behind an ISA Server and I want to filter out
all the packets that passes through ISA Server. Therefore, I activated IP
Packet Filtering and created filters for SMTP packets on port 25. As for
the DNS traffic, I am relying on the default created DNS filter, which
seems to work fine.

But somewhere I missed something. I am not able to send and receive
anymore email messages after I activated packet filtering. If I'm
deactivating completely the IP Pacjet Filtering option, mail is arriving
and can be sent out with no problems.

Can anyone help me out with this ? I don't have much experience in
filtering out packets and I don't know exactly which type of traffic,
excluding DNS and SMTP needs to be allowed to pass in order to have a
functional email system.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Alin
