Hi folks,
after upgrading from v17.5 beta2 to v17-5 GA my XG failed to send daily reports and backups. After a number of changes Beta Support asked for access to my XG, since then my reports and backup have been working. No advice to what was changed so far.
do not think I have an issue with my LAN devices sending bad stuff through mail system because they have an Sophos home anti- installed for scanning. Not so sure about the mobile devices and how to get hem to use the certificates on mail. Yes, I have installed the certificates, but the devices fail to connect when using wifi.
I started to investigate why the reports do not show any smtp/s traffic even though I have normal (network) firewall rules in place to specifically scan smtp/s traffic. So this morning I created new business rules to scan map/s and smtp/s traffic which after some CA issues started to work correctly on my MBP using MAC mail. Outgoing traffic shows in the reports but will need a couple of days to see the full benefit in the reports.
So being brave (last time I could not get this to work on my wife's MBP) I tried my wife's MBP using MS Outlook and the messages were all sent and received on a couple of devices, but no SMTP/S in the log viewer or reports. So I tried her MAC Mail and bingo entries in logviewer. So further investigation into the configuration of MS Outlook found it default to port 587 which is not scanned by the XG transparent mail proxy. From memory last time I could not get MS Outlook to play kindly with smtp/s scanning (transparent proxy), did not like the certificate but worked with https scanning.
So the all important question is how to add port 587 to the transparent mail proxy?
