Exchange won't work with new firewall
Posted on 2013-01-09
As part of a move to a new building we are going to stop using our own firewall and have the university provide us that service. We have tested de-activating our current firewall rules and NAT and having the university activate them on their side. Every time we've tested, exchange does not work externally, but I can send and receive emails inside our network. The only firewall rules that I had on our firewall was for http, https and smtp. We do use webmail as well - but that should be covered under the https/smtp ports.
The university looked at their firewall and didn't see any traffic coming in our out. I found an error in the event viewer that said exchange unable to find underlying transport and listed the tcp/udp port of 47001. There has never been a firewall rule for that.
Any ideas what rules would be needed/what the issue might be? As part of this change I also have to change the default gateway from our firewall to the university's gateway. I do that on the network properties... is this in Exchange some place?

What version of Exchange are you running?
Hop on the exchange server with remote desktop or console and test to see if smtp port is open by running the following command:
telnet aspmx.l.google.com 25
If port 25 outbound is open you should see a google mail server respond.
If you do not see a google mail server respond the firewall is not allowing you out. Do you have internet access from the email server?
The gateway is set on the microsoft networking adapter settings.
You are correct, the only 2 inbound ports you need is 443 and port 25 inbound.

I have exchange 2010 and yes we are trying to set up the rules on a Cisco firewall. What does the FixUp protocols do - see if there are errors in the rules?
I did try the telnet, but I don't think I have telnet installed as its not a recognized command. I can add that and try it again.
