Re: SMTP server publishing required for inbound email

RUBBISH Bill,

matter of fact, ISA2000 SMTP publishing BREAKS SMTP because it doesn't
understand a number of ESMTP commands. Most MSFT and ISA proponents will
blame the (mostly Unix) remote mail systems because upon encountering an
incomplete ESMTP conversation they should 'fall back' to standard SMTP but
the fact of the matter is ISA2000 does not have the predefined command
structure in the SMTP filter to correctly handle ESMTP commands.

By default the SBS Exchange SMTP service listens on all addresses and a
packet filter is used to allow external access to the service. Unfortunately
I can't suggest why the OP is experiencing a problem and therefore cannot
suggest a solution.

Implementing an SMTP server publishing rule is an option not implemented
on most SBS boxes.
