Hi.. I found that I can't send the SMTP mail from the firewall itself when the firewall policy is on. But when I fw unload localhost, I have no problem sending it. I can't understand this. I thought firewall by default it will allow any traffic from the firewall itself regardless any policy installed on it right.
That *CAN* set by Policy/Properties as implicit rule (note: this is an option). The default setting changed from "enabled" to "disabled" some time ago, IIRC (correct me please if I err here).
Solution is either (preferrably) to create an explicit rule to allow the firewall to go out, or to check that the according property is set.
