The Solution Rating System

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.

Thank you!

Port Forwarding smtp through CISCO PIX506e Due to Slow email delivery

Asked by Firewall_Help in Cisco PIX Firewall, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Email Anti-Virus

Tags: , ,

Hi All,

I'm having an issue at a customers site where they are experiencing slow inbound email.  Unfortunatley the ISP provider can not help until I can allow their support guys to telnet on port 25 into the email server.  The Cisco 506e router currently only allows smtp port forwarding on a specific IP range which contains the ISP forwarding email servers and spam filter.

Do You think I should allow ANY IP address to have access/port forward smtp into the email server or should i allow just the Support guys ip range and keep the current range open? Can you provide me we the appropiate config to configure the pix for all IP and just one IP to port forward from the PIX to the Private IP of the Email server

I currently not on site but will be back first thing tommorow and will implement changes then.

The Client setup is basic and consists of the following:

The cisco pix 506e Outside IP address is = 87.xxx.xxx.162
The cisco pix 506e Inside IP address is = 10.0.0.254
The Internet Router which the 506e sits behind  = 87.xxx.xxx.161
The email server IP = 10.0.0.200

#################
