Traffic not hitting acess policy rule (FMC)

[ITTEAM6196842]

Hello, 

I have a rule setup on my FMC from my exchange servers to my smtp gateway with smtp/smtps/ping as destination ports, logging enabled and allow action.

On the connection > events logs, i see all trafic coming from exchange servers to my smtp gateway on port 25 as BLOCKED by the default deny deny rule. I don't get why it is not hitting my allow rule. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

Okay i've created a copy of the rule with "any" in applications column rule and kept the destiantion ports as they were in the original rule. now the traffic is hitting this new rule .. i think the problem was that that traffic i was seeing the on the logs didn't have any application match "blank" and so it was denied by the implicit deny rule ?!
