I need to open port 995 (SSL) to get pop3 mail from an external mail server.
I have SBS 2003 standard edition. I have open an exception in the Windows Xp
client firewall for port 995. I added a port/service in the basic firewall on
the server but don't know if I conifgured it right eg; in port, ip address,
out port....I appreciate your help.
