    Ports 995 and 465 are generally encrypted and your 100A cannot do decryption of this. Your probable best solution is to create a specific blcok rule to the FQDN objects pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com

    Or perhaps specify the allowed mail server address in the firewall policy that allows POP3 and SMTP access. All others will then be blocked.

    Hi Ravivarma I have a rule from internal to wan that is set to allow pop and smtp from my mail enabled clients then have a rule directly below it that is set to deny all other smtp and pop traffic. I had to do this as my final rule for internal to wan is allow any any . So it would not be blocked by a default deny any any rule.
