With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

POP3 Mail Server Publishing Rule Fails on ISA2004

Asked by gateguard in MS Forefront-ISA, Windows Networking

Hello, experts.

I'm running ISA2004 with Service Pack 3.

I had a POP3 Mail Server Publishing rule working since I built this machine about 3 weeks ago.  Suddenly it stopped working.  No errors, no alerts, no indications why.

On the Outlook Express client, we get a error 800ccc0f, "server unexpectedly terminated the connection".

On the ISA 2004 logging screen, I see "Initiated Connection" and then "Closed Connection" about 25 seconds later.

Running 2 Ethereal screens on the ISA 2004, one looking at the outside nic, the other at the inside nic, I see port 110 packets coming in from the outside and being answered by the firewall but no port 110 packets forwarded to the mail server on the inside NIC.

I've disabled and re-enabled the rule.  I've deleted and rebuilt the rule.  I even tried moving the rule to listen on a different outside IP address.  But it doesn't seem to matter what I do, this ISA server no longer wants to deal in port 110!

I also ran the BPA and didn't see anything regarding this rule or anything else of any importance.  The event logs have nothing regarding this.

Is it possible I have some kind of weird hardware problem?  I'm running this ISA server on a Dell Dimension 3100 with 2 processors and 2gb of ram.  Is it possible the 2 processors is the problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
