FortiGate SMTP Traffic

Hello everyone,

 

I have an issue where SMTP over port 587 is not passing through when connected to Office network. When connected to any other network, the traffic passes through with no issues. I have done a lot of analysis, troubleshooting and changes to the FortiGate firewall to try to resolve the issue but no luck.

I would appreciate it if you could give me some insight to pinpoint at the cause of the issue, that would be greatly appreciated.

 

Command issued on PowerShell:

#> Send-MailMessage -From Richard@domainname.com -To John@domainname.com -Subject "Test Email" -Body "Test SMTP Service from Powershell on Port 587" -SmtpServer smtp.office365.com -Credential $creds -UseSsl -Port 587

 

Here are the results:

 

When connected to company network:

WiresharkTest.png

 

 

When connected to any different network:

WiresharkTest2.png

WiresharkTest3.png

WiresharkTest4.png

 

It seems that the STARTTLS does not kick off at all for some reason.

 

 

Logs from FortiGate are shown as below:

Hello,

 

It is unlikely to be connectivity / MTU related issue.

 

Most likely either packet 5 or 6 is dropped.

 

You may consider to sniff traffic on FortiGate side (all interface "diag sniffer packet any <filters> 6 0 a") and check whether packets 5 and 6 are visible on all interfaces.

 

Moreover, I would recommend to check whether traffic is UTM inspected.
