Hi,

I have a Windows Server for SBS, and a cisco 837 router. I need to
setup POP3 email access for my boss, and from my understanding the SBS
includes support for this out of the box. I can see in the server
management that POP3 access is enabled.

I have no formal cisco training, but i have had a look at the cisco
config. I beleive i should be forwarding incoming traffic on port 110
from my external IP to my internal server's IP.

I can see in my cisco config i have the line:

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.5 110 203.153.229.11 110
extendable

which i beleive forwards tcp port 110 traffic to the server.

I also have a section in the cisco config which permits mail:

ip access-list extended ACL-Outside
....
remark *** Permits Mail ***
remark
permit tcp any host 203.153.229.11 eq smtp
permit tcp any host 203.153.229.11 eq www
permit tcp any host 203.153.229.11 eq 443

but i beleive i have to add the next line:

permit tcp any host 203.153.229.11 eq pop3

Could anyone help? Will adding the above line allow pop3 mail traffic
through to my server for processing? If so, how exactly do i add this
to the cisco config? I know i can enter 'enable' at the terminal to
show the configuration details, and also enter 'configure
(...something??)' at the terminal to configure the access list, so
what should be the commands i enter to add the permit tcp any host
x.x.x.x eq pop3 to the cisco configuration?

Thanks in advance
Simon

That message list was deleted, and due to unforeseen circumstances can
no longer be recovered.
Apologies.
Any help is still appreciated
