Re: [Assp-user] ASSP Header

[Aaron Allen]

The problem is that someone sending mail to our organization looks at the MX record and sees cacweb, so they initiate a connection to cacweb.  But instead of cacweb answering (since it is acting as a transparent proxy), the server cacexch answers and identifies itself as cacexch.  Perhaps this is just more of a perceived problem, but it seems that if I am connecting to a mail server I should receive the response I was expecting.  Since I receive a response other than the expected response, it would make me think there might be something weird going on.  At the very least, I wonder if this conforms to the RFC or not.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Javier Albinarrate Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 11:34 AM To: Questions and Answers for users of ASSP Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy Subject: Re: [Assp-user] ASSP Header   Hi there,           This should be solved at the MTA level, it really falls outside of a proxy features.         One question, why *exactly* does it cause problems to you?         regards Javier Albinarrate         ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Allen To: Questions and Answers for users of ASSP Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 12:15 PM Subject: Re: [Assp-user] ASSP Header   No, our setup is like this: Cacweb(ASSP) -> cacexch(SMTP Server)   So when someone connects, they hit go to cacweb and get this header: 220 cacexch.commaction.org Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830 ready at  Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:14:23 -0400   So, there is no setting to configure on cacweb (unless it is in ASSP).   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Micheal Espinola Jr Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 11:04 AM To: Questions and Answers for users of ASSP Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy Subject: Re: [Assp-user] ASSP Header   Aaron Allen wrote: Is there a way to have ASSP rewrite the header for the mail server it is proxying for?  IE: My server cacweb is running ASSP and forwards the mail on to cacexch.  But when someone connects to ASSP at cacweb, it answers as cacexch, even though the server really is named cacweb.  This causes problems because it looks to the sender like the mail server is spoofing itself. This is a configuration change that should be done on the cacweb server.  Many MTA's allow the customization of that response.  If cacweb is responding as cacexch, then clearly someone configured that intentionally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
