Re: [FW-1] Smtp Resource FW-1 NG



First you have to block SMTP relaying on the Notes Box and
if you use a SMTP Security server (Like for CVP) you need
to block those on the FW-1 in a SMTP Security ressource too
because by default the FW-1 SMTP Security server is wide
open to SMTP relaying. I have a SMTP/POP3 post.office server
running on a box, before i install a FW-1 in front of it it
was fully closed to unwanted SMTP relaying by ising rules
in the post.office SMTP relay. When we put the FW-1 in front
of it, it was fine too, but as soon as i added a SMTP Security
server in a ressource to use CVP (for virus checking) it
became wide open to SMTP relaying until i change my SMTP
Security ressources to:

   First: Name: SMTP-Reject_dest
          Comment: Reject common redirection characters
          Exception Track: Log
          Notify Sender On Error
          Match Recipient: *{*%*,*!*}*
          Strip MIME of type:
          Don't Accept Mail Larger Than 999999 KB
          CVP Server Anti_Virus
          CVP Read/Write
          Allowed Chars: 8-bit

   Second: Name: SMTP-RCV
           Comment: Receive email for our domains
           Exception Track: Log
           Notify Sender On Error
           Match Recipient: {*@ourdomain_1.com,...,*@ourdomain_N.com}
           Strip MIME of type:
           Don't Accept Mail Larger Than 999999 KB
           CVP Server Anti_Virus
           CVP Read/Write
           Allowed Chars: 8-bit

With the two following roules:

Source Destination     Service                  Action Track Comment
any    our_SMTP_Server smtp -> SMTP-Reject_dest Reject Long  EMAIL with redirect characters
any    our_SMTP_Server smtp -> SMTP-RCV         Accept Long  EMAIL for our domains

All other incoming traffic is dropped by the catch all rule.

If we put only the second rule with nothing in the Match Recepient,
anyone can do SMTP relay thru our FW-1 Security server !
