Personally, I'd keep the Exchange serve inside, set-up postfix or sendmail on a *nix box(es) on the DMZ, only allow inbound connections to Exchange from the external mail server and correctly set-up relaying on both boxes. My $.02. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Carlo Malandrini [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 12:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW1] Mail Proxy. Anyone can help me? Importance: High Hi everybody, I am a rookie in security solution deployment so I hope that someone can help me. My company is planning to install Check Point FW-1 as corporate firewall to protect its business from the bad guys of the Internet and we already have MS Exchange Server 5.5 as mail sistem. We plan to leave the mailserver in the internal network, but we are just wondering if it is a safe behavior to allow external mail servers to connect to ours directly through the firewall or if it better to install a mail proxy (maybe set up in a dmz) with the task of accepting inbound mail connection. In the latter case, this mail proxy should be skilled enough to detect some evil behavior (spamming, relaying, bad mail protocol systax and so on).
