Need help with ISA and Outlook

Posted in wrong place earlier... Sorry

I need help...

I am running ISA, but not exchange, I have web access but not POP3 or smtp access. I believe I have the protocals set up properly. I can't telnet to the remote ports. ( 25 or 110) The remote mail server is not on site. It is not on the same subnet or domain. I have win 2003 server.

I can recieve Hotmail ( Excuse me, I forgot... I am useing Outlook and Outlook Express.) I can also recieve mail through webmail ... which I don't have an open port for(???)

I can not send or recieve any mail. Every thing else seems to be working... (I haven't tested my FTP publishing yet.)

oh... this happens with and without firewall client installed.

I can't think of any other info.. if you need something else please ask...

I'm getting desperate at this point... thanks in advance...

You have a client using Outlook (Express) and you try to connect to an external Mail Server via POP3 / SMTP, right?

For this you nee within ISA:
A protocoll definition for outgoing port 25 TCP traffic
A protocoll definition for outgoing port 110 TCP traffic

A site ans content rule, which is not denying this traffic
A protocol rule, which is not denying this traffic

Note that, independend from rule definitions, which are allowing all outgoing traffic, that this only means, that all protocols are allowed you have protocol definitions for.

I have all that in place. I also should say it was working until about 5 days ago. It seems to have stopped by itself... I've reinstalled I've updated everything I can think of. I can't think of any thing else to try.

We did add a rule for Yahoo games ( to allow) that's working well. Ftp works. Telnet works (Just not to the mail server...on either port).

Any help will be looked at as a kindness...

Make sure that you have the IP services installed! Go to the Add and Remove Programs under the control panel. Then go to the Windows components install section. Look around for a TCP/IP Services selection in one of the categories. Install it and restart. You should be good to go.
