Re: Blocking Outlook External POP/SMTP

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
