Ok this is confounding me. I have setup a brand new RV340 and its working great with everything including port forwarding HTTPS to the internal exchange server. However, when forwarding SMTP packets the connection gets quickly dropped. Strangely when using a Windows telnet client, I can connect and send mail but not through Linux nor can the hosted email security gateway send mails through the router to the server. Any advice would be apprecaited thanks!
Also emails sent directly over the lan and bypassing the router are working fine. Additionally the web management interface is only partially showing up remotely and is non functional.
I have tried disabling all of the security features but it didn't make a difference. Perhaps there is something I have missed?
Should I just blank the router and start again?

Hello
Not enough information regards your network to understand the issue.
Where exactly does this new router and the smtp gateway reside in your network are they separated by the internet or an internal firewall.
Can you post a topology of your network and if possible, the configuration of your router?

Hi Paul. It is a basic setup.
Trend Micro cloud email security gateway --> SMTP --> Cisco RV340 --> Port forward 25 --> Exchange server.
There is no firewall anywhere except on the router.
If I telnet to the router it drops the connection. If I try to send an email via MX to the Cloud gateway it gets dropped when trying to establish a connection to the router. The router is replacing a working cyberoam. SMTP commands entered directly work over the LAN.

I think the RV340 has an AntiVirus options as well (Security > Threat/IPS > Antivirus), did you disable that as well ?
Also, make sure you are runniing the latest firmware release, 1.0.03.20.

Hello,
the link below is from an older firmware version, but somewhere in the settings, there is an option to enable TTL/SSL email encryption, check if you have that enabled and if so, disable it (and use 'None')...

Hi Georg,
I belive that article is in regards to sending email from the router rather than email passing through the router to a server?
