[K12OSN] e-smith/sme server opening ports

[David Trask]

Generally speaking in this case....if you are the one initiating the
conversation (meaning initiating the transfer to the printer of the
newspaper) you don't need to punch holes in the firewall.  That being
said...if port 53 is blocked off....simply set a port-forwarding rule to
forward port 53 to the machine you're sending from.  Also....SME 6.01 has
port opening built in under "Configuration" in the web interface.  I
recommend getting 6.01 custom as it has a few other packages that are
nice.
