My SMTP Rules are not being applied !!!

musab
Hello all,

I have setup my SMTP rules for example not to allow any message that contains "football" to be sent. But my mail client (Outlook express) is sending these messages ignoring my rule ! Any idea ?

    Definitely get rid of Any -> Any -> Any.

    Also, the Astaro is a stateful firewall.  That means that it tracks connections so, with a very few possible exceptions, you don't need to allow inbound packets - Astaro knows what traffic is a response to a request it has sent, and it allows that while blocking unrequested packets.  That means that you should replace "Any" as the 'Source' in your Packet Filter rules with "Internal (Network)".

    There is something wrong with your mail configuration.  I think we've covered everything in your Astaro, so it appears that you need to configure your mail server to use the Astaro as a smarthost.

    Cheers - Bob
