I actually wound up doing that, but you lose all the other benefits of the SMTP proxy. You can no longer automatically strip an attachment, replace it with an attachment that explains why the attachment was stripped and let the rest of the email go on to its intended recipient. You can no longer strip off those overly informative headers from outgoing email that tell the computer name and ip address of the sender or any other headers you wish to strip from incoming or outgoing email. It is more difficult, though possible, I think, to stop all mail from, say, Taiwan or China or Russia or any other country (we deal with US Workers Comp Claims and there is no legitimate business reason to receive mail from those location. I miss quite a few things about it, but am trying to write rules that come close to approximating those features. Watchguard did an amazing job with attachments - far, far better than the results I am getting with rules.
Can you write a rule to strip a .com attachment without "catching" emails with tag lines that include web sites? That surely is possible, but every attempt I have made so far winds up "capturing" emails that mention a .com address, whether web site or email address.

I use them and all you have to do is create a user rule for port 25. That way it will stop soing it's default smtp proxy. Craig.
