10.4: Fix firewall blocking of Mail under internet sharing
Authored by: raider on Aug 16, '05 01:20:09PM
This really depends on what it is you use for mail. If you need just POP and SMTP all you need are 110 and 25. IMAP and POP/SMTP over SSL use those other ports...

Also, you can use "Brickhouse" to set up firewall rules based on each network adapter - so that your broadband connection doesn't have to open those holes, only the airport local side.

10.4: Fix firewall blocking of Mail under internet sharing

Could also use Brickhouse, or a command-line tool like mfw to open all ports on the LAN side, based on either interface or IP address (typically 10.0.x.x for Internet Sharing). That will enable Rendezvous-based happiness within the LAN while still firewalling incoming Internet traffic.
