Hope that helps!!

I've always understood the default FW rules to be those suggested by Symantec to be used on user endpoint machines.

If you intend to install the SEP FW on server machines, I'd recommend you refer to vendor documentation for whatever application you need to allow (in this case Exchange).

The below might help:

You need to refer to your Traffic log to see what's being blocked and add allow rule(s) to open up the communication.
