ISAserver.org - Monthly Article Update

Hi ISAlist,

New articles added to ISAserver.org last month:


Title: Amy Babinchak's ISA/SBS Series: Controlling Internet Access: Denying 
Access to Certain Websites During Business Hours by Amy Babinchak
Author: Thomas Shinder
Summary: ISA has some great tools for controlling Internet access. Schedules 
let you decide when users can access the Internet. Destination Sets let you 
control where users can go on the Internet. Site and Content Rules are where 
you set the rules that apply to the destination sets that you’ve configured. A 
good Internet Access Policy will often use all three elements. This article 
shows you how.

Title: Configuring the ISA Firewall as an Outbound Filtering SMTP Relay
Author: Thomas Shinder
Summary: In my article Configuring the ISA Firewall as an Inbound Filtering 
SMTP Relay, I discussed procedures you can use to make the ISA firewall (ISA 
Server 2004) an inbound filtering SMTP relay to help offload some processing 
from your dedicated spam filtering solution. The ISA firewall’s built-in SMTP 
Message Screener, while not a complete anti-spam and e-mail anti-virus 
solution, can go a long way at improving the performance of your current e-mail 
hygiene solution by performing basic keyword and attachment filtering duties. 
We will build on the configuration established in the last article, which you 
can find at http://isaserver.org/articles/2004inboundsmtprelay.html and show 
how to configure the ISA firewall as an outbound filtering SMTP relay.

Title: Configuring the ISA Firewall as an Inbound Filtering SMTP Relay
Author: Thomas Shinder
Summary: A popular configuration for the ISA firewall is to use it as an 
inbound SMTP filtering relay. You can setup the ISA firewall as an inbound SMTP 
relay and leverage the built-in SMTP filter and SMTP Message Screener to 
offload some of the spam and attachment filtering duties from your dedicated 
spam whacking device or Exchange Server located on an ISA firewall Protected 
Network. While the ISA firewall’s SMTP Message Screener isn’t a full-fledged 
spam whacking and e-mail anti-virus solution, it can perform some initial 
processing on incoming messages, which takes some heat off your dedicated 
e-mail scrubbing devices. This article shows you how to make it happen.

Title: Troubleshooting SMTP Server Publishing Rules
Author: Thomas Shinder
Summary: One of the most common Server Publishing Rule scenarios is for SMTP 
servers. SMTP Server Publishing Rules allow you to publish SMTP servers on an 
ISA firewall Protect Network. The SMTP server can be a dedicated SMTP relay, or 
it can be the endpoint of the inbound e-mail messages, such as you Exchange 
Server. The SMTP Server Publishing Rule allows inbound connections to TCP port 
25 through the ISA firewall to the SMTP server on the ISA firewall Protected 
Network. SA firewall SMTP server publishing is popular, but along with its 
popularity comes a lot of troubleshooting issues. In this article we’ll take a 
look at one approach to troubleshooting SMTP Server Publishing Rules.

Title: Creating and Configuring ISA Firewall Networks (2004) [v1.02]
Author: Thomas Shinder
Summary: If you've managed an ISA 2000 firewall, the networking model used in 
the new ISA firewall (ISA Server 2004) will likely send you for a loop. That's 
expected, as the new ISA firewall's networking model is completely new and 
improved. No longer do you have to deal with the LAT, and all connections made 
through the ISA firewall are exposed to the ISA firewall's stateful packet 
inspection (SPI) and stateful application layer inspection engines. Check out 
this article for details on getting started right.
