Hi, Are there any specific benefits in running the FW-1 SMTP security server in combination with a CVP-enabled mail scanning server ?
Any known issues/bugs with this combo ? At first sight, I don't like it all that much; IMHO it gives an attacker the possibility to DoS your server via SMTP, and it gives him at least open port to fingerprint your OS with (nmap detects FW-1 on NT). Just trying to convince someone that a firewall should only firewall and he should use a mail scanning server that is not linked to the FW-1 with any sort of protocol. But if I am actually the one who needs convincing, I'd be happy to hear about it. TIA, Filip _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
