>From other posts on this thread, it sounds like you've made progress. I'll just add a plug for firestarter, as no one else has mentioned it. This is by far the easiest. I configured it quickly with the wizard, then discovered my IMAP connection wasn't going through. In the Events list I could see that port 993 was being blocked. I edited the rule to add port 993 to the IMAP line. Done. iptables -L -n shows a much more complicated set of rules than I could understand or configure myself -- at least without devoting a great deal of time to it. OTOH, my use case is rather simple, a noteback behind a router, so I don't need the level of fine tuned control and hardness that a server would require. I could see how one could start with firestarter, then later migrate to a more advanced utility such as firehol. cheers, Joel > Best regards, -- Joel Roth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
