Remember that port 110 is for the service host, not the client. Your 2003 doesn't need port 110 open, it will establish an outgoing connection on any number of randomly selected ports. Are you blocking all ports? Your box is only going to be attacked/scanned on ports that it is offering services on. Blocking all ports put you in a virtual bunker, in which I'm surprised CF can even run unless you enabled its required ports or gave full access to localhost.

Does anyone have experience opening up the IP filters on a windows 2003 box to allow the cfpop to connect to an outside pop3 mailbox? I have installed thunderbird to test the access from the server to an email box but it won't connect either so I am figuring it's windows 2003's filters - I tried opening port 110 incoming as well as outgoing but that doesn't seem to work...
