I have a win2k box configured with NAT as a firewall. Everything seems fine
except that I can't retrieve email from a server behind the FW unless I
disable all the filters. When I try to authenticate to the mail server I get
a "SSL Port 110 - no port available" error. I check the NAT mappings and
find that the remote IP has been mapped to the internal address. My guess is
that the authentication is taking place on a port other than 110 and that I
haven't mapped that port number in NAT or added it to the "allow" ports in
the filter. The email server does not use encrypted authentication. Waddup?
How do you find out what port your email server is using to authenticate?
Why can't I get my email? Waah! :-(
