Does anybody have any comments, anecdotes, experiances with allowing the
POP3 service through a firewall. The proposed solution would be to allow
encrypted email go through a POP3 service as part of an overall EDI
solution.
1. Currently we only allow the SMTP service on a corporate basis.
2. 18 months ago we revised the firewall ruleset when we changed firewalls
to specifically disallow the
POP3 service due to abuse by internal staff members.
3. My opinion is that we are a business and not an ISP so we shouldn't allow
the POP3 service.
