SMTP protocol problem with CISCO 836
Hi all,
I am not sure what I have to change in my CISCO 836 configuration in order my server will not deny incoming email ... I can send emails outside our network no-problem however if I want to send something in I am getting mail bounced back with message as follows:
Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 10): 550 Invalid recipient:
I checked Microsoft site since we are using Windows 2003 server with Exchange and they posted there it is a CISCO problem...they are saying DISABLE SMTP protection on firewall, however I don't know if it is good to disable TCP inspection, since I still need that however I would like to permit SMTP protocol.
Bellow is my access list with Dialer configuration. My question is what should I change there? Is it the problem in
access list or is it problem in tcp inspection and what should be changed? Other then that I don't find any problem with my router configuration!
access-list 111 remark Outside (Internet) firewall

Are you sure of that email address and do you have a account or anything that can be tried. Can you double check the information in mail client accounts to make sure the email address is correct for the account that you are sending from.

Well I figured out what was the problem. In my configuration I was blocking port 25 so I added additonal line in my configuration and now SMTP works fine.
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.5 25 interface Dialer1 25
