Probably be interesting to see one of the config.xml files from a server with this issue - it just doesnt make any sense.. ;) The only thing I can think of is perhaps a parsing error in the rule set, resulting in a kind of silent rule or something, or some other non-intuitive display issue cropping up. But for something like monowall, it doesnt make sense that an issue like this can survive over reboot , without something wierd in the config.xml. //chris On Tuesday 24 October 2006 15:42, Phil wrote: > I had no other products running that blocked SMTP. > > Was definately a fw issue as it worked perfectly on the same laptop outside > my network elsewhere. > > I spent ages doing traces, logging and even had the ISP involved. > Everything pointed to my fw.
