I have the latests version of Astaro installed with the smtp proxy turned on.
there are no DNAT/SNAT rules for port 25 on the server nor any packetfileter rules for this port. The proxy handles all SMTP traffic.
Behind astaro on the local network is an mercury mail server
This is my current setup -
allowed networks - eth0 ONLY
TLS - ON
SMTP - ON
AUTH Methods - Local Users
Allowed users- listed
Anti Spam - ON
Now my remote users all connect from outside the local network using dynamic address and outlook xp/2002
The settings on outlook for the outgoing server are all for ssl encryption on port 25.
aditionally all remote users have norton antivirus on their machines...norton has been told NOT to check outgoing emails
now my question is....have I got this right?
Is this setup flawed anywhere...I have been burned by spammers using my email server as an open relay in the past and want to make sure that I have this right this time and that my server is locked down as tight as possible
also all users passwords were generated by a pass generator using letters and numbers thus they should be difficult to hack?
Please tell me if this is all right as I really dont want to get hit again
thanks a ton
