Good question. Im still trying to see when I get a droped packet form an ip 
that I have set to have its packets droped when it trys to connect. Its an 
email server that has been sending out those .pif virus files.  I get logs 
for everything but havnt seen any that say droped. Maybe someone here on the 
list knows whats up for that.
