I agree with Ray Our clients are primarily Trend and GFI. Both of those are workable indeed but i gotta say the Linux relay has not missed a beat since Moses was a boy. I have one loaded a home, took me not much time at all to learn it and get it working but the experience is recommended. To the extent now that i am building them to provide a lower cost option for some of our clients. And remote management via ssh is all good. Plenty of documentation on how to set them up, try it at home even on a vmware machine. You would surprised how easy it is to do, (yum install postfix, yum install spamassassin etc) unless you want to compile it all yourself which is much more fun :) Greg Mulholland Clear IT Level 10, 530 Little Collins Street Melbourne, VIC 3000 Ph: (03) 99097411 Fax: (03) 99097091 ________________________________ From: Ray Dzek [mailto:Ray.Dzek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, 3 June 2005 9:00 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: SPF problem: was RE: Publishing an Exchange Server and email still going out through the default IP http://www.ISAserver.org linux is certainly no worse than figuring out ISA2004 policy rules :) Our Red Hat 9 + Postfix Mail relay was running on a 500mhz P-III with a 10GB IDE HD. It ran for almost 2 years non-stop. I recently upgraded to a decomissioned Dell server. Dual 667 and SCSI. Our mail volume has increased and I wanted the SCSI performance. But it wasn't a mandatory upgrade. We have the added benefit of using SpamAssassin and other neat tools to scrub some of the trash out of the mail stream before it ever touches our Exchange environment. Once it is up and running, you rarely touch it. Learning something besides MS is a good thing. Since when is anything in our network environment not a hack? ________________________________ From: Bryan D.

I guess I am really trying to find out if there is any movement on this issue at MS? Or will there be? I know this group would know if there was... :) Does checkpoint or other popular firewalls have this issue? I would think the answer is no. This should be taken seriously considering the SenderID. Not every company can afford to create relay servers in a dmz.
