Sophos XG with Sophos UTM downstream for Mail Hygiene

Hi,

the XG scans POP3/S so where are you having configuration issues with the XG mail? If you are using an Apple device then yes, there are scanning issues, but if you are using MS devices I am not aware of any issues.

Yeah its more the lack of the pop3 prefetch facility thats in the UTM where it can scan a remote POP3 mailbox for  different users & email domains

As far as I can see, XG doesn't have this facility, and I need to modify MX records, which is a bit awkward for a home ISP...

Assuming you are using private IP addressing between the XG and the UTM, you would setup two rules on the UTM, one to pass all but POP3 and the other to scan POP3 which from memory is actually a proxy you enable.

The XG would have the NAT rules and other firewall ctivities.

Gatt,

If the XG is the edge device, create a rule for pop3 traffic coming from utm IP address.

For the rest use XG.
