Tom,

AstLinux does support some basic blacklist features, such as the Spamhaus Drop 
List:

http://www.spamhaus.org/drop

Which is implemented via the AIF firewall.

I reload this list once a day via CRON using "reload-spamhaus-drop"...
--
cron.err crond[1516]: USER root pid 1741 cmd reload-spamhaus-drop 
/mnt/kd/blocked-hosts >/dev/null 2>&1
user.info reload-spamhaus-drop: The file "/mnt/kd/blocked-hosts" has been 
updated. Contains 468 lines.
user.info firewall: ** All firewall rules applied **
--

I'm not aware of any other solutions that would be applicable to AstLinux.  
Deep Inspection and pattern-signature matching filtering probably don't belong 
on an AstLinux box, IMHO.
