Hello Everyone. I had been using a proxy anti-spam server installed on the same machine as my ipswitch 2006 server for a few months, with terrific results, all incoming mail came into the anti-spam server on port 25, and was passed to the ipswitch on port 25025, worked great until a month ago after some w2k updates, now either w2k server, ipswitch or whatever, it won't work with both servers on the same computer.
I have just purchased a barcuda, and have it installed on the same network firewall as my ipswitch 2006 server, I am attempting to redirect all port 25 traffic to my mail server, to the Baracuda, then after it is filtered, and the Baracuda forward it to my mail server on port 25, DMZ to DMZ, which isn't being redirected. I have yet to accomplish this, but it may an option in your case, Good luck, Any news on any major release/upgrades on ipswitch 2006, I am running the lastest patches, on a w2k server, 4 GB of ram, more then enough hard disk space, on my raid system, but remote web access is reminecent of the dialup modem days. No one likes it, everyone has high speed access to our web mail, and keep asking me when I am going to change to another mail server. It hard to cut your loss's, when you have paid for a two year software maintaince program already, much more of this, and I'll have no choice. Rick P.

If all the junk mail is flowing straight to your iMail server externally you could just block outside access in to the mailserver @ port 25. This leaves the only true path _through_ your Barracuda device. The internal users stay unchanged, accessing the local mailserver internally but that may not be your situation. I am coming from a small business local users perspective here. I will be going this route myself soon, except with Symantec's SMTP 5.0 software. Good luck! -matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grant Griffith - IMail Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 8:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IMail Forum] Junk Mail Bypassing Filtering Hello All, We are currently using a Barracuda Spam Firewall 400 and are having more and more junk mails somehow ignoring that our MX points to that firewall and then they send directly to our Imail server along with a Exchange server we are running. Has anyone found a way to stop this? We thought about either changing the port or blocking anything coming from anywhere other than the Barracuda. However that will force us to have to tell everyone to change their outlook settings to use port 587 to send mail and that would be a huge headache.
