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

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.
Thanks
Keith
