ASA SMTP Settings

[Steve789]

Hello,

I hope someone can help me with this. I having trouble with the SMTP settings in ASA. When I put in the name of my exchange server and test, I get the following error:

"Email Cannot Be Sent:Connection aborted locally due to error or timeout"

I've tried putting the domain in front of the exchange server name, but then the error was, "Error retreiving server IP Address Information".

Our email server is MS Exchange 5.5

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Do you have some kind of firewall blocking it on your PC? Many virus scanning programs also automatically block SMTP for example.

I had a very similar issue where our Virus Scan had a rule to block mass mailing worms on port 25. When this was switched off it worked fine.

It was the virus scan software.

Thanks for the help.
