XG and port 587

Hi rfcat_vk 

Please refer to this KBA Sophos Firewall: How to customize SMTP scanning port where you can set the SMTPS port by using this command in the console: set service-param SMTPS add port 587

This should help you scan the Emails on port 587. You might try restarting SMTPD service in Advanced shell to take this into effect: service smtpd:restart -ds nosync

Hope this helps.

Hi Jaydeep,

the XG console advises I can't do that because this port is already used. I tried adding port 465 and the answer was can't configure non standard port.

So while the XG thinks it is using 587 it is really using 465 as part of the mail business rule and you can't change it.

Hi rfcat_vk 

Please check if it's already added in other services or not using show service-param I was able to add it without any issues. You can only set it at either SMTP or SMTPS.

Hi Jaydeep,

yes, it is added already from previous discussions on the subject.

You are confusing configuring a service with changing how a business rule is hard coded. SMTPS service is not used by the mail business rule. What I want to do is add 587 to the mail business rule.

Hi rfcat_vk 

Would you share the screenshot of your Mail Business rule?

Hei Jaydeep,

the rule as requested.

Hi,

if I disable SSL while using port 587 on both the iPad and the iPhone the outgoing mail is sent and classified as SMTP in the mail business rule which is wrong.
