Config ASA for outgoing emails from exchange server inside

Eddie3

Level 1

Hi,

We have an ASA configured as shown in the attached PDF w/topology included. We are using an Exchange email server. We can receive emails, however, outgoing emails seem to just go nowhere. All other traffic seems to pass without issue. What am I missing from our config.

Thanks,

Eddie

Hi BB,

That ESMTP issue has already been fixed in the ASA version I am running. See it in the config i included as:

policy-map type inspect esmtp tls-esmtp
parameters
allow-tls

Thanks for trying though.

Ed

I am sure your provider not blocking anything.

ok how about capturing debug and seeing what is the capture shows? and also try packet-tracer.

due to large ACL - I will review and let you now any of my findings.

I have temporarily removed the esmtp inspection to eliminate it as a possible issue. Still cannot send any emails out. Hope that helps narrow it a bit, so we can concentrate on it being some other issue that has been missed.

Thanks,

Ed

have you enabled debug and capture what is wrong?

if you run ESTMP with TLS then I think disable the inspection will not work, 
try my suggestion above and check again
