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.

Problem creating SMTP rule on watchguard X core

Asked by DBrookfield in Watchguard Firewall, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Internet Security

Tags: watchguard Firebox, firebox x Core

Right I'm guessing I am doing something wrong as I get the same error on both an X core 500 and an X Core 2500
I'm trying to get any of these setup (We have a failing firewall different make) to pass SMTP traffic to our mail server. And before I chuck this in our rack I want to be confident it is passing SMTP correctly.
At the moment this is in my office and I've made the IP's up I've got a test smtp setup on my workstation I can ping the External interface and I can telnet locally to teh test SMTP server, however when I try and telnet from the external side I get:
421 SMTP serive not available, closing transmission channel.
Connection to host lost
Which I'm sure you can see doesn't leave me with confidence.

I've also included some screenies

Now this is the first time I've setup a X Core so I may have missed some thing but I would have thought rules work the same. i.e take smtp traffic directed at specific IP and send it to IP on different NET on the internal interface, which shouldn't be complicated. This thing is system 9.1 and not Fireware Pro (Aside from the problem is Fireware Pro worth the money?)

Anyhelp greatfully accepted.
