Hi,

We're installing a Cisco Pix firewall with "MailGuard" feature that is
suppose to clean-up and filter SMTP commands.  I am trying to verify  that
limiting SMTP to these commands will not affect our Imail Server.  I called
Ipswitch tech support and they said it was OK but she didn't sound to sure
about her answer.  Can anyone here give me some feedback?

Here is the description of the feature:

"These seven minimum-required commands are: HELO, MAIL, RCPT, DATA, RSET,
NOOP, and QUIT. Other commands, such as KILL, WIZ, and so forth, are
intercepted by the PIX and they are never sent to the mail server on the
inside of your network. The PIX responds with an "OK" to even denied
commands, so attackers would not know that their attempts are being
thwarted."

Thanks

David
