I did what was posted in the thread below, then turned off Zonealarm and e-mail was sent through. I tried allowing dllhost.exe to send e-mail through Zonealarm but that didn't work, then I tried turning off Zonealarm and that worked. Is there some other program(s) I need to allow e-mail permission (on port 25) other than dllhost.exe? I want to keep Zonealarm running so that I know what's happening in my server and allow the permission accordingly...
I tried registering a new member and the new member was notified via e-mail. I tried sending a member e-mail directly and that worked too. I tried registering for a topic and I can see Symantec AV scanning the outgoing msg but I didn't get the thread update notification in my inbox. Not sure why this DIDN'T work (when the other 2 e-mail routes worked), do you have any insights into the thread registration problem?
I read through a bunch of posts and found what I was looking for. I had to set up the subscriptions to the forums correctly to "allow" subscriptions. The updates to the posts are working now with respect to sending out e-mails.
The only thing left is to find out what programs I need to allow through my ZoneAlarm firewall to do e-mails through port 25 when using the MailEnable server - I want to keep ZoneAlarm running to control the network access from the various programs. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already allowed dllhost.exe(?) through but something else needs to be permitted since my system won't send out e-mails until I turn off the ZoneAlarm firewall.
I allowed everything in the MailEnable/bin directory out through the firewall but my ZoneAlarm plus just won't let MailEnable do its job. It only works when ZoneAlarm plus is turned off - if someone have gotten MailEnable to work with ZoneAlarm plus please let me know how to do it. It only does a couple of e-mail checks with attachments inbout/outbound - but I turned that off too and still no luck.
