Whats the difference between an email security policy and the security policy I have setup in my firewall that allows inbound/outbound email?
Beaver: Great question. This often generates a lot of confusion. When working with firewalls, we talk about policies; a firewall policy is basically the business rules that permit or deny a specific type of traffic. This could be email coming from or going to specific systems such as SMTP for your email server or POP3 for your workstations. A firewall policy is essentially the technical implementation of your overall written security policy or policies.
