Hi,

I had similar problems with a new Exchange Server (v2003) on a DMZ.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=270836 is the good KB from Microsoft to
put static ports on Exchange 2003 (v2000 also), just check the English one,
because translations (still in French) are very shorter than the original
English one.

I do not known which version of Checkpoint, you have, but with NG with AI,
Firewall can track some of the RPC traffic (with objects in the DCE-RPC
branch)

Access from Outlook to Exchange only needs (for me, it was from LAN to
server in DMZ) :
microsoft-ds (445 TCP),
and Group MSExchange that contains :
MSExchangeDirRef (DCE-RPC)
MSExchangeDS (DCE-RPC)
MSExchangeIS (DCE-RPC)


The only problem, I have not solved, was the notification from Exchange
server to the Outlook clients, which appear on dynamic ports generated. I
tried to modify the file EXCHANGE.DEF on the Managment server, but it didn't
work.


Hope, it will help you.

Check SmartView Tracker fo drops on rules higher than 900. Prior to R55
HFA09 there were a lot of issues with RPC. I haven't had any problems with
SecureClient & Exchange since we went to HFA09.
