check the settings of the SMTP proxy, when you configure it you tell it
the IP of your internal mailserver and it creates rules to allow that mail
server to talk out. If you do not configure the proxy correctly it will
not work no matter what rules you set as all the SMTP traffic will be
going through the mis-configured proxy. I run raptor on Solaris not NT so
I can't help you find the correct scrren to do this in.
If you have not heard back from Axent tech support, call back and tell
them that your firewall is down and you need them to escalate the call,
that should get you a call back in a few hours at most.
