Hi Jerry,
 
If you install GFI on the ISA firewall itself, and publish the SMTP
on-box, then GFI works fine.

        Well, I just want to make sure that SMTP mail is processed by
the SMTP service on the ISA server.  GFIMailEssentials has a sink set up
to listen to a OnSubmit API event to one of the SMTP queues (whether
Drop, Pickup, or Queue, they did not say) and I just wanted to make sure
that even when publishing a mail server from the internal network that
ISA box is still behaving like an SMTP gateway; mail arrives, is
processed, and sent onward.

        Cordially yours,

        Hi Gerald,

         

        Another lovely example of the "network guys" subverting the
company's (one that I pay big money for in your example) security
posture.

         

        Its not really routing, unless you have a Network Rule setting a
Route relationship between source and destination.

         

        GFI works fine, what specific concerns do you have?

         

        Tom

                I have a couple of quick questions regarding the subject
heading. :-)

                If you use ISA 2004 EE and publish an SMTP server, there
are two options for handing forwarding.  These are:

                Requests appear to come from the ISA Server computer

                Requests appear to come from the original client

                If you choose the "Requests appear to come from the
original client" option, is ISA just simply routing the traffic back to
the published server or does the traffic stop at the ISA server before
final delivery to the published server?

                And if you are publishing an SMTP server from the
internal network through ISA, would a 3rd party application like
GFIMailEssentials still be able to work if it was running on the ISA
server that's publishing the SMTP server?

                Our environment is far from an ISA ideal since it's
being used by the federal government.  Our network topology looks like
the following:

                Hardware firewall -> ISA -> hardware firewall ->
internal network

                The government controls the hardware firewalls where I
control the ISA firewall.  The original goal here was to "enhance" our
SMTP gateway sitting in the DMZ by utilizing ISA.

                Cordially yours,
