IPTables Rule for Google Apps SMTP
- by XpresServers
I am trying to add iptables rule to allow traffic on ports 465 & 587 to google apps smtp servers. But I got not luck. My WHMCS installation works fine with google apps when I turn off iptables but iptables turn on itself again and email stop working. Please add rules to allow traffic from port 465 and 587.
Following are my IPTables rules grabbed from /etc/sysconfig/iptables
