SMTP Setup

BrianJ
This maybe silly, but please clarify. The SMTP proxy in asl is for mail incoming to a smtp mail server only, right? What about user email in/out (smtp/pop3)? Just open packet fileter holes for these?

    Hi BrianJ,

    local (internal) users can also use the SMTP proxy! It's the outgoing Email-Server, or relay for your internal email server.

    Sorry there is no proxy for POP3, use socks or open a rules in the packetfilter.

    Thanks, that makes sense now.

    A few questions still though:

    -is there many email clients that support socks for pop3 ?

    -how should our company scan incoming pop3 emails?

    -the virus scanner then is only to check outgoing email, and can't touch incoming?
