This is not true. Windows Server 2003 does not have a firewall enabled by
default, blocking any ports.

This will be default behavior in Windows XP SP2 i have been told, but it is
not true for Windows Server 2003.

> 2003 Server comes with the highest security policy by default. Thats why
the ports 25 and 110 (which are used for incoming and outgoing) are closed.
You can implement another default policy or open these ports manually and
configure the security policy as you want.
