We are using Winproxy from Ositis software. I located imail server behind the firewall and opened up a port for pop and smtp traffic to imail server. The only problem I have encountered is that on a random basis imail server will stop receiving external email and I need to restart the smptpd32 service to restore external traffic (which I believe to be a Winproxy issue at this point). Winproxy will run on any stand alone PC with winNT 4.0 or 2K and runs as service on that PC.

Our main network is currently behind a firewall and it is intended that the Imail server will be placed 'outside' with its static IP address. Should I rely on port blocking using TCP/IP filtering or should I install a McAfee or Norton personal firewall? We are only a very small office and we can't afford any more equipment. Is there a clever way of using our current hardware firewall without compromising the internal network? Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.
