External DNS connections

[SYNACK]

So RM have opened the ports to allow the traffic through to our servers now.

they forwarded ports 25,80 and 443 into our network and i can now see our servers from the public IP address.

 

The school guardian is configured to forward the ports into our network from the mid-range of IPs and i have enabled the firewalls on both OD servers.

 

I have enabled only the same ports from "any". I have not used the OS X server firewall in a production environment so would like to clarify the settings if possible. What are the minimum ports needed for http, https and mail?

 

Is that all i need to do with the "any" side of the firewall. I assume that the any means in from the internet.

 

The firewall config sounds right (I have never used that firewall though), the ports required are the ones that RM has opened for you ie:

 

25 SMTP Mail server traffic

80 unencrypted http traffic

443 SSL encrypted HTTP

Are you hosting your own mail server? Do you have control over the primary mx record and a suitable backup mail host? Just curious
