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.
