Well that means "raw" :-) It means the *incoming* ports involved need to be open to the Internet. Creating outgoing SMTP/HTTP/FTP from within a firewalled network doesn't mean you have to open up your firewall for any incoming ports - BitTorrent does require that. That falls into the "must have really good business case - can we put you in a standalone DMZ?" case for most largish companies. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
