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
