Re: [IMail Forum] Firewall Software

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I know the temptation is strong to run firewall software on the server but 
don't.  Its overhead, complicates your server, and if they get past it then 
they are directly into what you are trying to protect.

Buy a free standing firewall.  You can purchase a small Sonicwall or 
ServGate box for under $500, I think the SG100 is about $300.  If you have 
to get really cheap you can use a Linksys for less than $50, but I wouldn't 
recommend it.

Can anyone recommend firewall software to run on:

 - W2k server
 - multiple IP Numbers bound to a single NIC,
 - only iMail 6.06 and WebMail running on box.
Want something to block port scans, red code, all the standard attacks.

SyGate pro (www.SyGate.com) would be great except it won't handle multiple
IP Numbers on a single NIC.
