[nsp] pix and mail servers

[Scott Morris]

There are only problems if that's a problem for your mail server!  There
are many reasons for mailguard, one of which is to not have to rely on
administrators properly securing their mail servers time after time.

If you have a business need for the ESMTP, then mailguard sucks.  If you
don't, I get my e-mail just fine without ESMTP, and don't miss it at
all! =20

This is just one problem:

Others have mentioned the EHLO block, which stops all ESMTP working. I'm
sure there are more problems with it.
