Firewall in MTA mode not sending out mails - chapter 2

Hi,

Regarding this:

Firewall in MTA mode not sending out mails - Discussions - Sophos Firewall - Sophos Community

It's still as issue! - Running SFOS 19.5

Running "perl replace_firewall_id.pl 15 1" (I could see in the SMTP logs that it used rule 15 - that rule is my deafault drop rule - it happened out of the blue.

Any news on that matter?

Do you have the default MTA Rule or not?

If you enable the MTA Rule, there will be a firewall rule generated. You can adjust this rule, but you should not delete it.

I deleted it a long time ago.

Today I switched SMTP between transparent and MTA, it recreated the rule as ID 1 and at the top, but did not fix the firewall-id in the SMTP, maybe that should be implemented?

It was kinda hard to fix, not knowing why emails got blocked, with the SMTP rule in place :-)

Any news regarding my question above?

Today I disabled the SMTP rule, thus enabled is right after (Not deleted) , SMTP mail flow was again broken. had to run the "perl replace_firewall_id.pl 15 1" again, cause the SMTP related to drop rul again. This is not good.

Any news on a solution?

Essentially you need this rule for the exim to have a valid rule to send out. You could keep the rule and limit it to your mail server. Does this work for you?
