Hi list
I installed a new firewall yesterday and in the log I noticed lots of
dropped connections to the customer's mail server, the service being "auth"
(authentication).
Usually I have my firewalls reject "ident" connections directed at mail
servers and I think "auth" is also not necessary for standard SMTP
exchanges?!
My question: Is it okay to drop this service or should I rather reject it,
because of the same reason reject is preferred for "ident" (timeout-issue) ?
Thanks for any feedback
Ralf G.
