Sandy, I disagree. I believe that how to locking down an Imail server is a valid question. It shouldn't matter if your Imail server is in front of a firewall or behind. The server should be locked down. Not only will the server be more secure and reliable, the server will run faster too.
Sorry, I just came back from a security conference and I am a bit paranoid.<grin> I wish I had an answer to David's query but I don't. I would think that Ipswitch support would have a recommended server configuration for Imail.

This question would be better asked on a firewall forum (or should at least have 'OT' in the Subject). A mail server should not be expected to serve as a firewall, so I wouldn't feel comfortable answering this or your other post from a security standpoint.
