Hello All,
I just finished reading "Firewall & Proxy Server HOW-TO" and I was
surprised to see in section "5.5 Drawbacks with Proxy Servers - "OR DIRECT
MAILING TO THE INSIDE COMPUTERS"". I only have one mail server in this
place and if I put it behind the firewall I wont't be able to get mail from
anyone. Would I? I am thinking that the solution would be to place sort
of a mail gateway on the firewall itself so it can pick up any mail from
the outside and deliver it to the "secure" network. I am really new to
this firewall & proxy business so shed some light on the subject if you
think I am wrong. Also If anyone knows about any other product that would
allow smtp connections to go through the firewall let me know. Thanks
again...
