1850.0. "How to let users to read their POP3 mails inside a firewall from Internet ?" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Arthur Lin) Sun Mar 09 1997 21:59

One of my DFWU customers recently had a new request:

How to let some internal users be able to read their mails, which are located
on
mailgate (private IP) behind the firewall, from Internet via dialing up to an
ISP
with notebooks when they are traveling ? 

(The user will possibly read their mail by using Netscape Mail, not by
telneting
to mailgtae then issuing Mail command to read mails.)

Any solutions?

Either they can tunnel  (very secure), or run a many-to-one generic tcp
relay from the outside in to port 110 on mailgate.

Can you do the same with AFW NT 1.1, ie, can you
use the generic proxy? I think so -please confirm.

AVFW for NT supports generic proxies which can be used to access POP mail
outside
the firewall.
