Hello all As some of you might have gathered, I'm trying to find out whether we can replace our firewalls with AstLinux. Most features we need probably are present in Astlinux, with two notable exceptions.
Firstly, our current firewall is a web proxy and filter. I don't think this role will ever be fulfilled by AstLinux (though AIF's to-do lists it - http://rocky.eld.leidenuniv.nl/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=arti cle&id=48&Itemid=79). I am therefore investigating OpenDNS as a potential filtering route. However, the one remaining function for which our current firewall is invaluable is SMTP-level spam protection. We are currently only using two techniques available on the box (RBL and greylisting, no content scanning at all), but that is blocking around 45,000 spams a day, and letting in our approx. 1000 legit emails. These numbers show you how crucial this function is for us. I've had a very quick look at Arno's Firewall, and can see no mention of these features. Is this something anyone has looked at? Or can anyone suggest an approach which might help us? Many thanks as always Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
