Re: [FW1] SMTP server configuration

[Karim Amrani <kamrani@cogelog.com>]

Hi,

Do you mean that I just change the routing on the internal mail server : it should
no longer pass on outbound mails to the gateway (FW with sendmail, so far) but
directly to the destination server ?

If so, is it secure ?

Thanks,

Karim AMRANI
