But if you're using the SMTP proxy, then where else can you catch this? If someone tries to bounce spam off the GNAT Box SMTP server, the mail server never knows...
The SMTP proxy already discards email that is not destined for your domain (assuming that you fill in the "domains to accept" box). I'm just hoping that someday it will be able to send an alarm when it does. Since the GNAT Box already does both of these things (block spam bounces and send alarms), it seems like all that would be needed is for one to trigger the other (more or less).

Let's keep it a lean, mean, and affordable firewall product. That's not to say that GTA might not want to come out with solutions for these other security issues (email and web), which customers could pick and chose from depending upon their own situations and needs.
