not able to connect to mail server

Hi,

 

We recently had a new UTM 9 box installed. All seemed to be working well until we tried to setup email on a smart phone. No matter what we try we just can not get the email setup on any mobile devices. The connection simply times out, the server can not be found, the connection gets dropped. There is no rhyme or reason and the error message is never the same. I've gone back to the company who installed it and basically because we signed off on the install they don't want to know. I've tried ringing Sophos support and I just keep getting passed around from pillar to post. Ive added certificates, exceptions and rules galore.

To say I'm frustrated is an understatement. I've actually only been in post two months, the whole system was scoped, purchased, implemented, paid for and signed off by my predecessor. If it hadn't cost so much I would simply throw this rubbish away and buy something that works and from a company who cares and gives good support. While writing this post I have been on hold with Sophos support for nearly an hour after speaking with three different people already!!!!!!!

 

Ok rant over.. Does anyone here have any idea how I can get this working please? My users are really not happy!!

 

Thanks

Raz

  • Thanks Douglas really appreciate your help. I will let you know if this works.

    This seems to have really stumped Sophos Tech support as well!!

  • Hi, Raz, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    I've moved this thread to the Email Protection forum as it certainly doesn't belong in the forum for the UTM Manager application.  However, you haven't told us enough to know whether your question belongs in the Web Server Security forum instead.  Doug's interpreted your plea as one for help with WAF - is that correct?

    Cheers - Bob

  • Hi Bob,

    Ok to be honest I am not sure where this belongs as I simply can not understand why I can not setup my email client on my phone. My colleagues tell me that before the UTM was put in and went live all was working as it should be. Even now I talk to some people who connected up perfectly well before the UTM went in and even though I can not setup they can still get to their emails. I've even had one or two people say that they have connected up since the UTM went in.

    Sophos Tech support are supposedly looking in to this, I have had one guy remote on to the firewall and have a look around. However he hasn't got back to me in two days even after several emails asking for an update!

    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to this at all.

    Thanks

  • Do you learn anything from trying #1 in Rulz?

  • Nope, Been through the logs. The odd thing is the IP address of the device I am trying doesn't show up! There are a myriad of other IP addresses connecting to the mail server but not mine!

    Thanks
