SMTP Setup

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?

Sorry for my stupid question, but the SMTP-Proxy is only for "throuput"? This means I can not have POP3-Accounts on my ASL, can I?

btw. Is there an (extendes) manual available where I can find such answers?

Thanx

hi Marius,

yes, it is a mail relay only, for both incoming and outgoing mail.

There are no local deliveries on ASL itself.
