Thanks Nemesis for your reply.
I have checked the automatic settings for Outlook Express (msimn.exe) as configured by the Norton Firewall. Ports 25 and 110 are open as described below for OE Email. The full list of components auto-configured are as follows:
OE Email: outbound connection, any computer, any adapter, port 25 (remote smtp), port 110 (remote pop3), TCP protocol
OE Email-Auth: inbound connection, any computer, any adapter, port 113 (local auth), TCP protocol
OE HTTP Rule: outbound connection, any computer, any adapter, ports 80-83, 443, 1080, 8080, 8088, 11523, TCP protocol
OE IMAP Mail Server: outbound connection, any computer, any adapter, port 143 (remote imap), port 993 (remote port), TCP protocol
OE News: outbound connection, any computer, any adapter, port 119 (remote nntp), TCP protocol
OE DNS Rule: inbound/outbound connection, any computer, any adapter, port 53 (remote domain) UDP protocol
Are all of the above as would be expected? I have no idea, but hopefully someone can confirm or let me know otherwise.
Thanks again.
