[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] RBL List?
There are no "open ports" on my firewall. The person who sends our organization e-mail never even sends it to my firewall's address. They're sending to a mail server's address. The SMTP is pulled off, intercepted by the firewall and redirected. How is that different from going through the firewall directly a mail server? Answer, it's not. Fact is, no one can even "see" my firewall, let alone send it a packet directly. No open ports, nada. With FW-1, I can pull off SMTP and send it to any one of a number of spam servers, and sometimes mail servers, depending on which of the 156 mail servers it is destined to go to. It works very well, and does not present any security hazards... You must be thinking of some kind of PAT configuration... -----Original Message----- From: Don [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 2:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW-1] RBL List? > I use the smtp security server on five checkpoint firewalls, in a LARGE > scale environ--I have never seen the headers stripped, i.e. each and > every smtp "hop" is shown, along with their IP's.

Well as I said, i have no idea what its behavior is because I do not use it. In a large environment, why are you using the SMTP security server? I have asked this question on this list a number of times and noone has ever given me a good reason for running any of CheckPoints security servers. Giving someone an open port to my firewall with a daemon that is actually listening just strikes me as ludicrous. -Don > What he means is that CheckPoint removes the headers on the email put > their by the mail server such as what server handled the mail and when. > This make troubleshooting a nightmare. > > I did not know the SMTP security server did this, but if it does, it is > another reason not to use it. > > -Don ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] =================================================
