Barracuda 300 Spam and Virus FW - Can't connect to port 25 from outside clients
Greetings!
I've been trying to figure out my problem for hours!
I have an existing exchange server that had surfcontrol installed... I removed it and set it up with a Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall.
SOMEHOW email is coming in just fine... however from outside of our LAN I can't telnet or connect via Outlook. I've had several others try from different connections with the same results.
I have many NAT rules on our Watchguard firewall... I've never had a problem. In fact I can access the I don't understand how it's not allowing a client to send email through. I'm 99.9% sure it's not the firewall causing the issue.
It sends email from other servers just fine!

I'm stumped! I have done a lot of trial and error with no luck. I can provide a lot more information if someone is willing to help me out. I'm certain it's the Barracuda but I can't figure out what exactly :(
