Hi Dirk,
I actually made some progress on this and
have managed to get this port open (at least for the short term so we can test)
and it does appear to have made a difference but I still get an error. The
error message has gone from being error state 0 to error state 9? Any ideas on
this one?
Darrell.

From a security point of view you need to open the
port in the OUTGOING way only (most firewalls will understand that's normal
that on an established connection going from the network to the internet an
answer comes). You can still use a proxy (http/socks) to receive the messages.
So that's not much of a security issue then.(TCP port 1863)

Dirk,
Ok,
thanks for the info, this is a pity as it would be a useful feature as many of
our tech guys have MSN on their mobiles which is a bit more flexible than
SMS. I have checked and there is no way we can compromise security and
open up the firewall for MSN so I guess we'll have to wait until a version of
SA supports MSN over a proxy.
Are
their any plug-ins you know of that might enable us to do this in any other way?
Darrell.

With
only support direct MSN sending, not via a proxy. And we do not plan on
adding it in the near future.

Dirk,
I've
upgraded to this but as I expected it has made no difference.
The
issue must be the Proxy settings as I did a few tests and MSN is blocked from
direct outside access unless going via Proxy. Is there no way around
this? I suspect this will be the issue within most large companies regarding
MSN due to the security issue. The default to was set in the setup but I
had over-ridden this within my checks anyway so the addresses were correct.
Darrell.

Hi Dirk,
SA
Version 4.0.1302
In
default setup a username and password have been specified and it is ticked as
enabled, I have checked these directly through messenger and they work ok
Which
default timeout, do you mean? I assume the one on the alerts page which in this
case is a PING and is set to 5, can't find any time out values on the MSN setup
page
If MSN
requires a Proxy, is this picked up from the settings within SA's proxy
settings page? Assumed it was so these have been set too for proxy and port required
by MSN.
Darrell.
