Hi,

do you mean a web frontend to your internal mail server, that may be
accessed from the outside? Or do you talk about accessing webbased email
accounts in the internet like yahoo.com or hotmail.com or the like?

Regards,

Stefan

Do you allow web based email? What is the best practice advice from a
security standpoint?  Do you have any restrictions since you can't
remove attachments or force a virus scan or force content/header
filtering?
