    Hi everyone, I trying to send e-mail from Outlook Express installed on a PC
    behind ISAServer2k with firewall client

    I use a normal external SMTP server of my ISP: if the mail I send is small
    (say less than 1Kb) i see no problem and the mail goes normally to the SMTP
    server for delivery.
    >From this I would say the ISA configuration is OK: unfortunately if I try to
    send a mail a little larger, then the problems begins.
    OE connect the SMTP server and the progress bar increments while it start
    sending datas, but after a little while the bar stops and, after a minute an
    error message inform me that the SMTP server has timed out. I tell OE to
    wait another 60 seconds, but the connection drop few moments after.

    I've checked the FW log on ISAserver, but I see no indication that ISA
    cutted off the connection, so I'm confused about where the problem lies.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Thanks

    Luca
