Secuity policy does not permit us to open port 25 totally in McAfee. We can put exceptions in the port 25 rule. What application / process acutally sends out the email so that I can add that to the exception list like outlook and others? Does this make sense?
I guess the application is likely to be the mail componenet you use (or CDONTS) running in-process in IIS but that is probably running under svchost anyway. Or maybe it'll show up as SMTPHOST when the mail gets handed to that, but again I think that runs inside a svchost.
in short, I'm not sure :-$ what do McAfee suggest for settings for websites that sendemails?
I searched McAfee and IIS 6 uses w3wp.exe to send it's email. I added that to the exception list in McAfee port blocking and it works like a charm. Thanks.
