Hi All,
I am new at this and would appreciate some
direction. The following
was detected by my IDS sensor. The "email_turn"
event was recorded but
the source was the smtp server in my dmz and the
destination address was
an internal smtp server. A few questions:
1. What exactly is an Email_turn event?
2. What danger, if any, does this feature (smtp turn,
I'm guessing)
present on my internal smtp server
3. What do I lose by not allowing it. It is MS
Exchange 5.5.
Thanks in advance.
\d
