Title: Message We
have several customers already working for a long time with solution 1. This is
a good solution since you do not have direct interaction between the mail server
and other servers on Internet. We also have the same configuration for outgoing
mail, which brings the same level of satisfaction.
Other
point of view might differ but from our experience it is the way we would
proceed from your information.

I just
have some quick questions about SMTP & Firwall-1.
Right now
my mail server is nat'd by the firewall and only SMTP traffic is
allowed. If I wanted to use the SMTP Security Server to scan mail would
I be better off:
1.
Removing NAT address & DNS for mail server & creating an MX record
that points all mail to firewall's external interface. Create an SMTP
resource that directs all inbound SMTP to my mailserver & create a rule
that allows my mail server to send outbound SMTP.
OR
2. Leave
my MX records & NAT alone and just let Firewall-1 intercept the
messages.
If I go
with #2 is there any reason for the mail server to be publicly accessible
anymore?
Thanks
for the help.
