MSN Explorer

I just implemented Astaro internet gateway and i love it. but i have a question.

My parents use MSN explorer for there email(dont ask). The gateway is causing them not being able to use email at all no sending or receiving.. is there a way to work around this is there a setting i need to change in msn explorer or in gateway? Anyone have a idea.

  • Hi,
    You will need to tell us a bit more about your setup.
    1/. packet filter rules do you have
    2/. are you using any proxies
    3/. what other features are you using?

  • Ok I have determined that the problem is not with MSN. i can not send or receive emails with outlook or anything using pop3 imap or smtp. I will post my settings when i get home at school right now. i mainly have all the default settings i haven't changed anything.

    Do I have to tell my email client what mail proxy to use? I couldn't find any settings in outlook that says proxy server for the mail. [:S]
  • New to Astaro don't know  everything yet.

    1) i have all the default filters created by the wizard
    2) i am using the web proxy dont know how to do email proxy
    3) all default settings.

    i can go to all websites( execpt ones being blocked) so http works file. its just email.
  • This is the error i get in the open live log for pop3.

    2008:05:29-20:15:18 (none) pop3proxy[24802]: id="110Q" severity="error" sys="SecureMail" sub="pop3" name="Connection error." message="Unknown connection error" serverip="209.85.147.109" dstport="110" srcip="192.168.0.13"

    If it helps.
  • Go into the POP3 Proxy and disable prefetching.  Also, set the timeouts in your email client higher (say a few minutes) so that the client won't time out while emails are being AV scanned.

  • I did not know that I had to restart server to make settings apply I thought you just had to hit the apply button I will try that thanks.
  • Well, you shouldn't have to, but it doesn't hurt to try.
