Sophos E-Mail Protection, Exchange und Strato Hoster

Hallo,

wir sind dabei einen neuen Exchange Server einzurichten. Wir nutzen eine UTM und möchten E-Mails von Strato abholen. Leider komme ich nicht mit der konfiguration zurecht.

Wir haben bei Strato eine Subdomain mit A-Eintrag auf unsere Sophos erstellt. (utm.unseredomain.com) Wir haben eine feste IP-Adresse die hier genutzt wird.

 

Weiterhin haben wir den MX-Eintrag auf den Host utm.unseredomain.com weitergeleitet.  Ist dies grundsätzlich richtig oder verfolgen wir den falschen Weg?

 

Wie muss die Sophos nun eingerichtet werden?



Vielen Dank im Vorraus

  • Hallo berootale,

    (Sorry, my German-speaking brain isn't creating thoughts at the moment. [:(])

    "Wir nutzen eine UTM und möchten E-Mails von Strato abholen."

    I'm not familiar with Strato.  Are you saying that they will receive some emails for you instead of the emails coming directly to your UTM?  Should they receive all emails for you?  What benefit do you get from routing inbound emails through Strato?

  • Hi Bob Strato ist unser Domain Hoster, somit müssen alles E-Mails über diesen Anbieter laufen?!

  • My company's domain is hosted externally as is our email server.  Our MX record points to our UTM in AWS where the SMTP Proxy does anti-spam and anti-virus and then forwards emails to our mail server at the hosting company.

  • Some hosting companies allow you to put a spam filter in front of them.   Others will detect an unauthorized forwarder and block your traffic because it violates SPF.

    Some may allow you to put a spam filter in front of them, but still allow traffic that bypasses your spam filter and connects directly to them.   In this case, the bad guys will learn to bypass your spam filter.

    You need a hosting service that will allow you to use a spam filter and require all traffic to flow through that spam filter to be accepted.   Ask your vendor.   If the vendor supports this configuration, any spam filter, including UTM, can be used.
