Re: Blocking Outlook External POP/SMTP

Why do u want to block people from using such tools to do work? You
need productivity in the work place. Just block porn and facebook.
Then train them how to be productive on the internet. You start
extremely blocking people, to better facilities, you will create a lot
of enemies at work place and eventually you will have them creating
colonies rather than working as a team!

If you have McAfee ePO installed you can creat an access protection
rule to prevent certain processes eg Outlook.exe from connecting to
explicit remote ports. Only problem is you can't exclude remote IPs
(like a legitimate imap server) but if that's ok...

Perhaps there is something similar from your AV vendor (if it's
different, like symantec endpoint protection?). Firewall rule will
work but not if user is offsite.

Hope this helps

Hello,

I'm looking for information on preventing/prohibiting users from
utilizing
Outlook (at work) to retrieve their personal email from Gmail, AOL,
Yahoo,
Comcast, Verizon, etc.

Looking for the following:

* Reasons why users should not be allowed to use Outlook on their work
computers to retrieve their personal email.

* Tools/techniques to block this type of traffic. It seems the most
common
ports are 110, 465, 587, 993, and 995. Are there others?

Any reference are much appreciated.

Thank you!
Lee Anne
