Rules do not work

Hello,

I wanted to create a rule that allows GREEN to connect my mailgateway in DMZ (192.168.123.2) with port 8006. A few minutes it was working great but than I added a new rule for SMTP from RED to ORANGE 192.168.123.2 and I lost connection.

It would be great if someone can explain me, what’s wrong with this rule

Best Regards Ferengie

If I try to connect to the mailgateway there should be an entry in Firewall-Log as I understood the checkbox

But I can not find anything there ..

I think SMTP should be network “any” not “red”

Mail servers need some crazy firewall rules.

Someone that runs a mail server would be more help

Maybe no rule for green, add rule from red to DMZ SMTP

Hi,
I have found the issue:
I used ALIASES to “use a name instead of an IP” - therefore the IPFire thought she is this IP.

This caused dublicated IPs but without an error message …

Best Regards
