I really don't want to disable this key feature from the client. It basically leaves a hole open on our network, and that's not something I'm happy doing.
Is there a posibility to have a trusted exclusion list, or at least a way to allow third-party programs to send e-mail to trusted mail servers without the proxy blocking the attempts?
I know I'm not the only one experiencing this, and this is a serious security issue for us as a company.
Do you know if this is being addressed, or is the concensus to disable e-mail antivirus/anti-spam plugin?
In my mind, that makes the client useless.
Would you drive in a car with half the safety features disabled? Not me...
When you've been hit with a mass-mailing worm, you get edgy when the feature you rely on to help prevent that form happening again, needs to be disabled.
I'm no fortune teller... but I can see this "can of worms"... and it's being opened.
