If this is your mail gateway and this you are using for sendig and recieving mails 
over the internet then you cannot restrict access to port 25 as this is required for 
its purpose. One way is to put some filtering mailing gatway that will restrict any 
smtp spoofing. i.e. this gateway will not accept messages from external network with 
source e-mail id containing your mail domain suffix. Also you can restrict SMTP relay.

i hope this help

Subject: Restrict telnet to port 25 via firewall.


Hi,

I have a Lotus Notes mail server behind my Pix firewall 5.3(1), the problem
is anyone from outside is able to telnet my smtp port 25 and compose a mail
and send it. The issue is though my mail server restricts free relay he/she
can compose a mail via telnet to port 25 in name of anyone else in the same
domain and send a false mail on his behalf.
So is there anyway where by I can block the telnet to port 25 and thereby
stop the composition of a mail. Is there a way to authorise/restrict access
the telnet to service ports.
Requesting assistance
