Best Practice for this?

Hi,

i am not unexperienced with UTM`s Functions. But i havent done SMTP/POP3 Configurations yet.

So here is my question:

We are setting up a UTM 120 with WLAN Access. Users can buy Vouchers and use WLAN via the firewall.

I guess there will be some users that want to use mail programs using smtp and pop / imap ports.

how is that done secure and simple? just opening the ports or using some kind of smtp or pop proxy?

thank you for your info

Hi,
If the users are random people (and not your employees), then you should just open the ports, as you probably don't want to support them if some clients don't work with the proxies.

If they are your employees, you could use the pop proxy if your pop servers are external or in a DMZ.
You should be forcing your employees to use your corporate SMTP servers, and those servers can be behind the smtp proxy.

You should probably discuss this with your reseller to make sure you're not forgetting anything, etc.
