We use sendmail and can email in and out from our HP K360
HP-UX 11.0 freely to the internet.
We have a good firewall on our
network. However, one we are not a Trusted system yet (will be soon).
We don't have any security patches either. My concern is
that a spammer could send an email to our HP Server and take down our box.
Here is our sendmail version
and patch:
PHNE_17190 1.0 sendmail(1m) 8.8.6 patch
Could someone education me here?
TIA,
Laurie
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Email Security ?
You can check out using an SMTP proxy.
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: Email Security ?
get "ipchains/9000" and use it for some "firewall" restrictions of your HP-UX box itself...

Re: Email Security ?
I think mark had been guiding you towards this link,
https://software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/try.pl?productNumber=B6834AA&date=
Note the s in http. So you have to copy and paste the link in your browser to access the link.
Hope this helps.

Re: Email Security ?
you might want to look at the security of your mail server from different "angles", some of which have already been mentioned:
1)Access control on IP level
=> limit who can connect to the machine, using IP filtering as mentioned above.
2) Patch the application
=> avoid being "hacked" through exploiting a programming error and the system being controlled by an intruder. Use the patch check tool as mentioned above
3) Configure sendmail in a way that it can't be misused by spammers. These guys don't hack you but they exploit a too "liberal" configuration by relaying tons of mail through your site.
=> see http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying.html
or
