Access e-mail behind a Cisco Pix 501 appliance
The network consists of a server running Windows 2000 server that also hosts Merak 8.1 mail server. One can VPN in and use remote desktop on any work station. The e-amil sends fine, and all accounts can be accessed behind the Pix 501 [inside of network]. The mail server can be ping from the outside and the static IP of the PIX501 outside responds. When the mail is attempted to be retreived from outside the server, the server is not found. Should there be a statement to allow POP3 access to the server? If so, how would it be added?

One more question - how do I edit the run file? I can access the console, enter enable to get to the area that I can issue the sh run commands, etc. I think I have to edit the run and then copy it to the start. Could you provide the commands to complete the edit. It has been a while since I was assisted with the original set up.
thanks

Thanks for your prompt responce. It works perfect.
static (inside,outside) tcp interface pop3 192.168.99.250 pop3 netmask 255.255.255.255
access-list outside_access_in permit tcp any interface outside eq pop3
When using port forwarding with a single public IP address attached to the outside interface, you really should use the syntax I gave above in your access list statements, i.e. "interface outside" instead of "host <outside_ip_address>", but as I always say, if it's not broken, don't fix it!
Give those commands a try and see if that helps...
