I am putting a new mail server in for a company and they are using a Cisco device which has ASDM 6.1 for ASA. &nbsp;The firewall was setup by someone else who is out of contact and I have never used this device before. &nbsp;I need to have ports 25 and 443 open and allowed through to the server for mail and OWA. &nbsp;The server is on the internal network (not the dmz) and I have an external static ip address. &nbsp;Can someone give me the steps I need to take to get this done? &nbsp;I don't want to change any of there existing rules or I would set it back to default and run the wizard. &nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
