clamav > Can I get spamassassin between a pop server and a m$ outlook pop client? > Yes, you can pull the mail from the pop server using Fetchmail and deliver it to local mail boxes on the firewall box or a mailserver behind the firewall. The mail as it's being delivered to these mail boxes can be scanned for spam and viruses by using procmail. Then you have the users behind the firewall download their mail using pop and/or give them webmail access to the mail on the firewall. > I know it is NOT a good thing to have other apps running on your firewall > but multiple boxes is not a good thing for my wallet :-S > Since you are downloading email to the firewall, you don't need to open up new external ports. As such you are not adding any more potential external exploits. -- Mark Lane, CET mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hard Data Ltd. http://www.harddata.com T: 01-780-456-9771 F: 01-780-456-9772 11060 - 166 Avenue Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5X 1Y3 --> Ask me about our Excellent 1U Systems! <-- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
