You also may want to open up your web calendaring port as well, then close everything thing else that you are not using. I set ours to paranoid, or whatever is the highest most secure setting.
I am curious, did you get the server version or the regular version? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Horne Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Blackice Settings I have just obtained BlackICE Server Protection for my mail servers to stop the flood of Dictionary attacks we are receiving. I have installed it and I have made the changes that "Cycle Rider" suggested, but I would just like to make sure I have all settings correct (not the edits proposed by "Cycle Rider" but the BlackICE settings. Right now it is running in "Trusting" mode, which means it isn't blocking anything. I also did not enable the Application Protection. My specific questions are these: 1) What Protection Level should I choose? This is a dedicated Imail box, so I just want to make sure everyone that needs to can access the proper ports. I chose Cautious for a second and wasn't able to connect on POP3, so I set it back to Trusting. This is the extent of my configuration testing so far. Ultimately I would like to block all ports except those I specifically request to be open, meaning Paranoid Level, so: 2) In the Advanced Firewall Settings, if I specifically allow SMTP, POP3, HTTP & HTTPS (webmail), and IMAP4 ports does this negate the "auto-blocking" feature on SMTP that is the whole reason I got the program?
