-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You can try putting a linux box running spam assassin in the front of the firewall or even behind it have that do your mail filtering then forward the mail to the mail server minus the spam (including viruses) currently my mail server is blocking and removing all instances of my doom, I have not had one out break in our domain with that software yet. I have all the spam forwarded to an account for reviewing to make sure my filters are not blocking anything important. If you want to catch the attachments you can try using mailsnarf and filesnarf it is a package in the dsniff suite. Though that wont stop the mail from coming in it will store a copy of the file on that box. - -----Original Message----- From: Jason Haith [mailto:jhaith () genesissys com] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 4:08 PM To: securityfocus Subject: File Catching Firewall? Was asked to look into maybe putting in a Linux box in front of our mail server to stop the massive amounts of email attachments we have been receiving as of late due to 'MyDoom'. We currently have a WG FireBoxII and software on our Mail Server that is supposed to be catching everything, but with so much coming in it's missing alot. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on some type of solution for this, all input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
