Hi all
I have this problem with outgoing mail:
I an using the ISP's outgoing mail server to send mail.
When sending mail it takes a long time for the outgoing mail server to
respond.
Once responded it sends the mail efficiently and fast.
I tried the following rules in the policy (each one on it's own):
Source Destination Service Action
------------- ------------------------------ ------- -------
1. <SMTP Server> <FW-1> (The LAN is NAT-Hide) Ident Reject
2. <SMTP Server> ALL ALL Reject
3. <SMTP Server> ALL ALL Accept
** The log shows only Ident requests from the SMTP server **
None of these rules could make the connection go as fast as it goes when
connecting a standalone PC via Dial-Up to the same ISP and sending mail
through the same server.
The ISP says that the problem is with the FW rules but knows nothing about
FireWalls to say what rule could cause this.
Config:
FW-1 v4.1 on NT4 sp5
Please help - THANKS
