    • It must be listed before any access rule for which the All authenticated users setting has been selected.
    • It must be listed before any access rule for which one or both of the following user sets have been selected:

If you are using a SecureNAT client, a different approach may be needed. You must add an external DNS server to the client's Internet Protocol (IP) settings if the following conditions are true:

• You are using a SecureNAT client.
• The SecureNAT client cannot use the internal Domain Name System (DNS) server to resolve the name of the external POP3 server.

If these conditions are true, you must also take one of the following actions:

• Create an access rule to enable DNS lookups.
• Add the DNS protocol to the access rule that you created in steps 1 through 17.

To create an access rule to enable DNS lookups, follow these steps:

1. Open the ISA Server, or Forefront Threat Management Gateway, Medium Business Edition Management snap-in.
2. In the Tree pane, right-click Firewall Policy, point to New, and then click Access Rule to start the New Access Rule Wizard.
