Mailscanner/SunONE Messaging

I'd second Ugo's comments, make the MS machine the email gateway physically
by routing all external (internet) email through it then forward onto the
Sun messaging server. The way any problems with the SUN messaging server
can't be exploited remotely and there's less chance of viruses/spam etc
clogging the thing up.

Also I'd add ClamAV to McAffee, two is always better than one..

Subject: [MAILSCANNER] Mailscanner/SunONE Messaging

Hello to all, I'm currently setting up a system that will run Sun's 'SunOne
Messaging Server' to handle our email. I'd like to configure a second
system running MailScanner and McAfee to do virus scanning, attachment
blocking, etc...Email will come into the Messaging server, get forwarded to
the MailScanner system via Sun's "aliasdetourhost" setting, then sent back
from the MailScanner system. Is anyone doing anything similar and have any
tips, tricks, gotcha's etc...

Thanks in advance, 

Ed
