... or you can put the mail server on your DMZ and give it one IP address that both external and internal hosts can access i.e. the normal way of doing this. Make sure your mail hub is sufficiently secured itself and you keep your sendmail version to the latest patch levels.

This becomes an issue now that i am attempting to configure my mailserver with a public address on one NIC and my corporate network local address on another. The alternative i have is to mount this mailserver in front of the firewall so that it takes its source directly from the router .I intend to include on the router an explicit deny all that permits only SMTP .This is done to nullify the security vulnerability of opening up a machine to the public and concurrently talking to my corporate network. What security implication can this arrangement have?What are the security compromises yet to be taken care of for now. I await ur response and reactions. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
