Neither ISA nor any other firewall can tell the difference between SMTP and Telnet during the initial TCP connection phase as they both use the standard four-packet handshake. ISA does have an SMTP filter that is available for server-published SMTP servers and can disconnect SMTP-protocol violators. The protocol you want to publish is called "SMTP Server". If you can't locate that protocol, then: 1. see if the Enterprise Policies contains it 2. reinstall ISA in Firewall or Integrated mode Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison http://isatools.org Read the help, books and articles! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Alabaster" <administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 14:37 Subject: [isalist] blocking telnet on port 25 with ISA server http://www.ISAserver.org I've read through so many messages that I have lost the plot somewhat. Can ISA server split TCP traffic between SMTP and Telnet? On Firewall-1 it gives the definition inherently but I can't find it in ISA. I only want SMTP traffic accepted on port 25 through the ISA firewall and I do not want to use an SMTP forwarder in front of it.
