Hey Len,

Every so often one of Len's messages comes through marked as spam.  He's the
only person on this list where this happens, and I really have more faith
that he has his email setup correctly than I have that our spam filtering is
correct.  So I'm trying to figure out why this happens.  Here is the source
from a recent message.

But "network-security" firewalls don't know about "applications", only
protocols, ip's, ports.

That's why I mentioned a "host-security" firewall, like Zone Alarm, which
controls applications and OS services (and malicious stuff) that are
attempting egress.  SA also has per-block logging.
