Re: [FW-1] Exchange doesn't send e-mail notification through fire wall



As a followup on this issue, Microsoft support article Q148732 only applies
to the TCP ports used by the Information Store, Directory Service and System
Attendent. The new mail notification is sent by UDP and the port is actually
defined by the client upon their connection. The UDP port can not be set to
only a specific entry or range. The details can be found in Microsoft
support article Q264035. Of course, Microsoft's solution is to open up all
the UDP ports from the Exchange server to the clients.

You have to configure Exchange to use predefined ports. You have to set this
up manualy through the registry. Check Microsoft support article Q148732 for
the details.

Cheers,

firewall



Howdy,

I moved a number of PC's to a protected network (FW-1 NG.FP1). The PC's
on the protected network are allowed to access anything outside their
network
but nothing is allowed in. Unfortunately the users need to have
access to the local virus factory, euh I mean Exchange server. This is still

possible since they are allowed to access anything outside their network,
however it turns out the Exchange server sends a UDP packet whenever the
user gets a new mail. So now the users don't get an automatic warning
anymore but instead they need to press 'check mail' every once in a while.
Unfortunately the Exchange server does not seem to use a fixed port
for sending those packets so I can't just allow that specific traffic.
Is there any way to get around this so the users get their notifications
again?

Nico
