Cisco 1800 router ACL configuration

Hi everyone,

I’m a beginner when it comes to Cisco configuration, however I’ve been asked by my colleagues to configure the setup to allow smtp traffic to a new smtp host on our network.

I’ve got the ip address accessable via the http port but now when trying to add a permit smtp line it doesn’t appear to work at all.

Currently the access-list looks a bit like this (the statements are in an access-list called OutsideIn):

420 permit tcp any ip_address netmask eq http
430 deny tcp any any
440 permit tcp any ip_address netmask eq smtp

Is my problem because the smtp line appears below the deny line? and if so how can I move the smtp line above the deny line?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Craig.
