Hi,
i'm trying to setup a Virus scanning server for incoming-outgoing email
(Norton AntiVirus for Gateways).
Because of address harvesting, I get tons of phoney emails that NAVGW is
more than happy to accept; once it tries to send it to SIMS and gets a "user
unknown" back, it tries to bounce back the spam to the originating address,
which is more likely than not phoney too!
To solve this, Symantec recommends to setup a "gatekeeper" machine, whose
function is to determine if the destination email is valid or not; if so, it
passes the email on to NAVGW, who then passes it on to the final POP server,
where the user get his mail. Sort of like this:
SMTP server 1
|
| (if valid user, goes on)
|
NAVGW antivirus server
|
| (after virus processing, goes on)
|
SMTP server 2 (where the mailboxes are)
so I was wondering: is there a way to set up a userlist in server 1, with a
routing of "every incoming email goes to NAVGW". Will server 1 accept only
emails for the users list, or will the routing take precedence and I'm back
to square one?
