Re: POP3 Service through Corporate Firewall

[jkendall]

If you do need to enble it for business purposes, set your firewall up to only
allow certain internal IP addresses through it.

This of course is assuming your firewall supports this.

Does anybody have any comments, anecdotes, experiances with allowing the
POP3 service through a firewall. The proposed solution would be to allow
encrypted email go through a POP3 service as part of an overall EDI
solution.

1. Currently we only allow the SMTP service on a corporate basis.

2. 18 months ago we revised the firewall ruleset when we changed firewalls
to specifically disallow the
    POP3 service due to abuse by internal staff members.

3. My opinion is that we are a business and not an ISP so we shouldn't allow
the POP3 service.
