A recently added outbound rule has left my SMTP communications broken. I have since removed the rule, and had Cisco do some damage control, but it's still dropping some of the SMTP traffic. I get a number of NDR messages each day like the one below:Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

I've attached an image of my configuration (ASDM GUI). The part of the image highlighted in green are the SMTP rules. The part highlighted in yellow is another rule that I added about a month ago to block a SYN attack. This rule may be part of the problem because of the order it is in the list. Not sure, though.
I have had two Cisco techs Putty into my ASA to check things out. I think they've done all they can. I wonder at this point if it be wise to just reload the last good running-config I have prior to the Outbound rule being added.
I'm trying to configure a simple ACL to block smtp traffic from leaving my LAN -- basically prevent internal users from setting up internet email accounts in their email clients and sending through that smtp server. i want my Exchange server only to send smtp traffic. here's what i have:
-access-list 102 extended permit tcp host 10.10.1.29 eq smtp any eq smtp <===10.10.1.29 is Exchange
-access-list 102 extended deny tcp any eq smtp any eq smtp
-access-list 102 extended permit ip any any
-access-group 102 in interface inside
after i apply this ACL to the ASA, i am still able to send from my internet email address setup in Outlook using my "foreign" smtp server.
We have configured ASA 5510. We have configure Ethernet 0/0 ( Outside ) connected with ADSL line and Ethernet 0/1 ( Inside ) Local LAN. we have configured NAT and all the traffic is passing through outside interface. Now we have connected ethernet 0/3 ( leasedline ) interface with static public IP. Now we want to allow SMTP traffic to pass through from this interface.
How to configure it if we want our local lan SMTP traffic sending through new leased line ( Static Public IP ).
Below is the interesting part of my config. I have static NAT configured and working inbound for the Exchange Server and the Barracuda, however outbound traffic from those hosts comes out as the interface IP. Thoughts? I've tried a number of things (outside, inside), etc.
Most examples of NAT translation using an ASA 8.4 are based on servers within a DMZ. In my case it's not because the mailserver also functions as an data and Active Directory server for my local domain. If tried to config the ASA for a while now and throw it in the corner for a couple of months out of frustration. Now I got some time left during christmas break I decided to start again.My purpose is to NAT SMTP / POP traffic from the internet, trough the ASA to my (inside) server. This is what I got so far. With this config I'm unable to telnet the inside server (192.168.1.10) from a remote location.
I can ping 192.168.1.10 from the ASA CLI. I can Ping DNS 4.2.2.2 from the CLI (internet access). I can Telnet the server from the inside LAN, using: telnet 192.168.1.10 25.But I can't Telnet from an outside location using: Telnet 95.*.*.218 25 Because my server is on the Inside interface (diffenrent subnet) do I need an additional route?
I have a LAN with several linux boxes (Fedora 17, both 32 and 64 bits), as well a a WInXP box. All of these are connected to the same switch, which is connected to the inside port of my PIX 515.
For a few sites (mozilla.org happens to be one of them), for http access, the tcp connection is established, but the "GET" request - or anything else for that matter - will not go through the PIX (from inside to wan). I have verified this by first, using wireshark to watch the packets being sent out from the client box, then by using the trace function in the PIX to see that the packets ARE arriving at the inside interface, but ARE NOT sent out of the wan interface.
This is for the linux boxes ONLY. When I do the same thing with my WinXP box, all works: in the PIX trace, I see the packets arrive at the inside interface, and leave the wan interace. And access to these sites are okay.
(What's a bit weird, although somewhat expected, when I connect my android phone to my LAN via WiFi, it too is unable to reach those sites - but then again, android is linux, right?)
In addition to the tracing, I have narrowed this problem down by connecting a linux box directly to my DSL router, then replacing the PIX with a simple router/gateway. Both of those solutions work.
Some background:
I have been using this PIX for about 10 years now, with the same configuration (except IP addresses). Only in the last several months has this problem started to show up.
I got this pix from a dead company at a really great price (free), so I'd like to keep it, and not have to spend money on something else. I don't have any support license, and have not been able to get any software upgrades. Here is its version info:
taz(config)# sho ver
Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.2(2) Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 2.0(2)
We've got a proyect that requires a few thin clients to connect to a remote PCoIP server.
Looking to the documentation, the only port required to be open through Firewalls is TCP/UDP 4172, however, we've seen (making interface captures) that it somehow also uses ESP (IP protocol 50).
We've got a static NAT translation translating those thin clients to a public IP address, we've created ACLs to allow inbound (shouldn't be necessary as our user is connecting to a remote server) and outbound traffic for TCP/UDP 4172 and ESP and I cannot make it work.
I've also enabled IPSec pass-through Inspection to no avail.
how should we configure our ASA to enable this kind of traffic?
I'm new to ASA's and PIX units. I've setup a few VPN's now but know next to nothing about logging on these units. I read the config guide for the PIX, but cannot figure out how to get a log of incoming SMTP traffic going on the console.Do I need to use a SYSLOG server? I can probably set one up on my laptop.
I've had a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall connected to a cable modem (Virgin Media, UK) for the past 3 years. In the last 6 months or so I have noticed that the ASA would drop the outside (internet) connection intermittently, usually at least once every 1-2 weeks - the interface still shows as being up but no traffic crosses it, and computers on the inside network abruptly lose internet connectivity. Rebooting the ASA or administratively shutting down the interface and bringing it back up again would cure the problem straight away until the next time it happens.
In the last couple of days however despite nothing having been changed in the configuration the frequency of this connection drop has increased to the point where I would lose access to the internet within an hour of rebooting the ASA. It does not seem to matter whether or not there is traffic currently going out or not, inside computers just appear to suddenly lose internet connectivity.
I have tried the following without success:
1) I completely wiped the configuration (configure factory-default)
2) I changed the port the cable modem was connected to (eth0/0 -> eth0/7, changing switchport vlan accordingly)
I thought perhaps 2) had fixed it but it lasted a whole 2 hours before I woke up this morning to find that none of the internal equipment had internet access despite the fact eth0/7 was showing as up/up in ASA CLI.
This morning I manually set the eth0/7 port to "speed 10" (10Mbps, full duplex). It was previously set to be auto-negotiation (default) on both speed and duplex. As of this post it has managed to keep the outside connection up for 3 hours - but I'm not optimistic that it is fixed.
Interface counters have never shown any collisions, errors, etc - only packets input and output as expected.
Since the problem persisted across ports (eth0/0 -> eth0/7) I'm wondering whether or not the problem could either be faulty memory, or some kind of speed/duplex incompatibility between the cable modem and ASA.
I've purchased a WRT310N router to replace an existing wired router, and am in the process of setting up the outbound firewall rules. While I see settings to restrict access to all sites (or specific sites) for a specific protocol, I don't see an easy way to only allow access to one specific site.I want to restrict outbound SMTP to one server (my ISP's).
Up until recently one of my sites was able to get to a postilion subnet. Then we started receiving "host unreachable" e-mails. Posting told us SMTP traffic was not getting let in. I've compared the current config to a config that was saved before the issue popped up and found really no noticeable difference.
I tried a packet tracer trace with no luck: SiteB- Firewall# packet-tracer input outside tcp 11.2.2.36 12345 65.19.0.0 25.
Phase: 1 Type: FLOW-LOOKUP Subtype: Result: ALLOW Config: Additional Information: Found no matching flow, creating a new flow [code]...
Result: input-interface: outside input-status: up input-line-status: up output-interface: outside output-status: up output-line-status: up Action: drop Drop-reason: (acl-drop) Flow is denied by configured rule
Attached is a sanitized config. I'm not entirely convinced it's a firewall issue, but I need to some successful testing to prove otherwise.
I have a ASA 5510 (ver 8.4) and I have been all over the support sites looking for what I am doing wrong. I have a sanitized cut n paste of the OBJECT, NAT, ACCESS-LIST and Packet Tracer output and it keeps failing on the NAT with a rpf-check. Once i get the SMTP flowing I have to open up HTTP and HTTPS to one of the servers also.
Here it is:
RVGW# sh run object object network WiFi subnet 172.17.100.0 255.255.255.0
We are using several Cisco ASA 5505 with the 8.05 OS on it. The problem is that the SMTP traffic of my ISP(Telenet) isn't passtrough the ASA, I'm using outlook 2010. Before there was also a problem with our local exchange server but I solved this by disabling ESMTP checking in the policies, but it didn't worked for my local ISP.
I am new to the ASA series and I am at a complete loss as to why I cannot configure this router to forward SMTP and RDP traffic to an internal host.
The packet trace tool in ASDM shows complete end-to-end connectivity for RDP but it still fails to connect from outside. This is my config file, what I need to change in order to make it work?
I know I can use the RTR statement to determine when the primary ISP circuit goes down via this technote: url...My question can I assign static Nats on the backup ISP connection to the same inside servers in the dmz.?Example 10.1.1.11 is mapped to ISP1 ExternaIP of 65.217.77.11. Can it 10.1.1.11 also be mapped to ISP2's 208.217.77.11?This way I can get my DNS changed and my inbound traffic to servers in my DMZ on the asa 5510 running 8.0.3 code can continue to receive Inbound traffic.
I have the need to do an outbound NAT redirection. So what I mean is this. I have a custom program that uses SSH to port 22 from a server inside the ASA firewall. This goes out to a server on the Internet over port 22. The ISP of the SSH server told me that they changed their SSH port from 22 to 2102. So instead of changing the custom code on the developed application on the server... I thought it would be easier to do a OUTBOUND NAT redirection for the ASA to see port 22 from the server and redirect it OUTBOUND to port 2102.
so for example:
The server is at 192.168.0.2 and it uses a program to initiate SSH traffic to 205.246.1.1. The server sends to port 22 but I need it automatically changed on the firewall to port 2201 at 205.246.1.1.
It is a Cisco ASA 5510. The server at 192.168.0.2 does have a fixed IP address on the outside with INBOUND NAT for things like port 25 (mail) traffic etc. Lets pretend that was at 64.18.23.60.
I'm running a Cisco ASA 5510 with version 7.2(3) and I've been tasked with permitting some inbound & outbound TCP & UDP ports to/from a specified address space on the internet.
In looking at my current ASA config I see other access lists already configured so I'm assuming I can just set up a new access list in similar fashion, but I wanted to verify here first.
I have an issue with my mail server(SME Server) which is behind a Cisco ASA 5500(firewall) problem is that if one leaves my network they can receive but can not send email via my SMTP also internal people can only send if they use the IP address of the server rather than the domain [URL]
We have hosted spam filter service with 3rd party vendor. My vendor is switching to different spamming services and I need to add ip address lets say 44.33.454.32 to the list of allowed system that can connect to my smtp service. I am going over my firewall 5510 configs and I think I need add the entry like this: “access-list outside-to-inside extended permit tcp object-group obj-44.33.454.32 interface outside eq smtp”. [code]
We have a 5510 (8.2) with the following 4 interfaces (security-levels) inside (95), outside(0), dmz(25), and test (95). The dmz network is 10.10.10.0/24 and the outside interface is 40.133.84.69.We have run into a situation where a dmz hosted iRedMail server running postfix (10.10.10.51) is relaying mail which in some cases points back to us at 40.133.84.69 and into our Exchange server. In these cases in the dmz server's mail logs we see postfix timeout trying to connect to smtp at 40.133.84.69. When I try to telnet from 10.10.10.51 to the outside interface on port 25 it times out.We've tried different ways to allow the outside adapter to permit smtp (or any service!) from 10.10.10.51 but we're left scratching out heads.
how to go about setting up the ASA to block any SMTP traffic outbound except for our Exchange Server. This is in relationship to a SpamBot issue that blacklisted us. I have an ASA 5510 running version 6.2(5) / 8.2(2) with three ports. DMZ, Inside and the Outside interface. Up till today, I only needed to block outside traffic to our internal network which I used the ASDM to configure a rule on the outside interface for an incoming rule. I am assuming I need to create an outgoing rule on the outside interface; however, just to make sure I understand the terminology/traffic flow, I created the rule with my computer as the source (192.168.0.131) with ALL destination and the service as HTTP. My logic, which seems to fail here, is that any traffic from my computer going outbound would be blocked; however I am still able to browse... That said, if I were to change the source as the Exchange server and the Service Type to SMTP, it would not actually block traffic and therefore not solve our problem. I even gone as far as permitting traffic from my computer, expanding the hit counter and I see no hits. So I am no doubt doing this wrong. What I do know, is when I first created the rule, a second rule was automatically created (Implicit rule) that deny all sources and blocked all HTTP traffic until I changed it to Permit?
I have an ASA 5510 running version 7.0. I have a problem with an exchange server using a static map and its outbounc connectivity. It connects outbound through the global address even though inbound connectivity works fine through the static mapping. The recent changes are changing of the zero route through a different interface (there are to circuit connected to this ASA on different interfaces). So the idea was to get all workstations in the office using the global address and routing out through one circuit, and the servers connecting in/out through the other circuit. Shouldn't a static mapping ignore what the zero route is?
Here are what I believe to be the relevant configs.
interface Ethernet0/0 description New 6mb circuit speed 100
[Code]....
So exchang2 server can be connected to from the outside properly via IP xxx.207.51.231/exchange2-outside, but all outbound connections from this server are going out via IP xxx.122.47.218/circuit-6mb as do all the workstations due to the global address statement.
I have an ASA 5510, one public IP address on my outside interface, an internal email server and a private network.I would like...
1: Users on my private network to be able to access the internet (PAT them to external outside address) 2: Email to be delivered to my MX (my single public IP address translated back to my internal email server.
i.e. can I share my single public IP address to serve translation in both directions (private users surfing the Internet (in-to-out) and an outside to inside NAT for email) ?
Email (MX) = 1.2.3.4 Public (outside) address = 1.2.3.4 Email server internal = 10.1.2.3 Internal private subnet for users = 10.0.0.0/8
I have recently setup Splunk to receive my syslog messages from my ASA 5510. In the past I used kiwi without observing this issue, but I needed more features than kiwi had available. Anyway, anytime I stop the splunk service my asa does not allow any outbound connections to be established.
We have a cisco 800 series router between the internal network and the WAN. the problem is we are unable to receive some of our mail due to dropped packets by our router. the conversation between the two servers stops at the point were our server responds with the command 250 2.1.5 user@mydomain.com | 354 Start mail input; end with . i was able to trace the packet, using Packet Export, on the internal interface but not on the external interface. Also i have noticed that the external interface has about 160,000 unknown protocol drops while the internal interface has 0.
Is there anyway to find out way the external interface is dropping the packets.
I have an issue where my customer is only using the ASA as their firewall. When their internal users try to connect to a partner's site using a 3rd party IPSec solution it seems as if the return NAT-T traffic is being dropped. However when looking at the traffic the udp500 communication goes through, but the 4500 traffic hits the outside interface and then gets dropped.
I used the packet tracer command and the output is set to Allow. Also after initiating the vpn connection I see two udp connections (one for 500 and the other for 4500.
I cleared the asp table drop, and didnt see to see anything, I am waiting on the running config, and the customer is running ASA 8.4.
I used the capture tool on both interfaces (inside using the client ip, outside using the interface ip, both destined to the 3rd party vpn Headend). Here are the screeshots for this.
I went ahead and color coded the ip address. Green is the pre-nat inside Red is the destination for the VPN headend, and Blue is the PAT ip going out.
We have a Cisco ASA 5505 (v7.2(3)) with a "fairly" normal configuration yet we have a problem where it appears UDP/53 traffic is denied on our inside network.
here is output from our sys log:
SyslogID Source IP Dest IP Description 305006 172.18.22.3 portmap translation creation failed for udp src inside:172.18.22.156/42013 dst inside:172.18.22.3/53
To give some clarification:
172.18.22.3 is one of our DNS servers 172.18.22.156 is a device we're experimenting with.
We've bypassed the Cisco by using a 4G wireless router with this same device - and it works flawlessly.Here is a [scrubbed] copy of our config. It is what I inherited from the previous admin - I'm not sure of all its finer points (I'm not Cisco certified -- perhaps I'm just certifiable.)

I have a Cisco ASA 5510 firewall, my problem is that when the first VPN connections is established everything is good. But when that connections is cancel or terminated due to non connectivity. No one can connect to that firewall through that VPN unless that firewall is restarted.
I have our main site using a Cisco 5510 running 8.4.2 code and a remote site using a Cisco 5505 running 8.4.2 code. The main site has a T1 and the remote site is using a DSL connection. About every other day I have to reset the connection at the remote site. The process that I have found that works is to remove the nat statement, clear the cry ips sa and then add back the nat statement. The connection usually comes back up and a few minutes. I am trying to see what is causing this to drop.
we have a Cisco 2901 as a router on a stick for several vlans. Everything on the segment routes fine and accesses the internet just as they should. The 2901 connects to an ASA5505 on port 0/1. Any host connected to the ASA5505 can access the internet, but can not ping into any of the vlans off of the 2901. The strange thing is on either segement of the network I can ping all of the gateways. What is even more strange is when I run wireshark from behind the firewall going into the 2901 I can not see the packet on another wireshark instance behind the 2901. However if I start a ping for a host host behind the asa I can see the packet in wireshark on the host, which I am trying to ping, hit the gateway.
