Since my last live update from Norton Internet Security a few days ago I cannot access my mailserver with Norton security switched on. What gives? The permissions are set for "permit all" yet I can't access my mail server without switching off the firewall.
Sorry - that's outlook express, not Internet Explorer.
I have the same issue... nothing on Symantec's site that I can find to help. Any ideas are appreciated!
just a a new rule allow outbound tcp port 110 # this is the inbox access allow outbound tcp port 25 # this allows sending
Thanks Jeff. This worked. In one of the screens there was the option of "any computer" vs "specific computer or address". I just ticked off "any computer" because I didn't have the address of sympatico. Could this threaten my computer's security?
Thanks, George
these are all outbound, so there's no risk at all. for all inbound rules, it is best to be specific.
I will try this workaround, but...
Has Symantec issued a profound apology for BREAKING EVERYONE'S EMAIL? Has Symantec promised to test its "updates" more thoroughly so that this kind of fiasco never happens again? If not, we will probably just rip out (totally uninstall) our Symantec software and go with another vendor.
An "update" that silently breaks everyone's email capability is absolutely inexcusable, obviously.
