Hello guys,
I have a rather strange and somewhat annoying issue during my evaluation of the XG product currently in my home lab with a home license:
In order to be able to view blocked connections in the log, I have created an explicit deny rule with logging enabled at the bottom of the rule set (Any, Any via Any to Any, Any). Unfortunately, this breaks the MTA with the logs showing messages stating that the connection to the remote MX host has timed out, indicating to relate to the aforementioned rule. Even adding a rule to the top of the rule set, allowing the FW to communicate via SMTP (WAN, FWIP via SMTP, SMTPS, SMTPS465 to WAN, Any does not resolve his.
The strange thing is that with or without the explicit MTA allow rule, I am able to contact the mail servers via the advanced shell using telnet without issue.
Does anyone have any information regarding this?
Regards
