RE: [IMail Forum] SMTP Exploit Scanning Going on NOW

     I'm not sure how a firewall could help in this instance (if someone can enlighten me you would have my gratitude).  As SMTP needs to be opened to the world in order for imail to receive mail, a firewall has simply to allow it (I think) or there is no mail, and that's that.

So those that have been effected by this are they behind a SMTP firewall and still get hit or are these servers SMTP live to the internet?
