Hi Jason!

Why not configure the WG Firebox II to filter e-mails before they enter
you're e-mail server? I know it's possible, but I can't remember how right
now. If you get any problems, just send me an e-mail and I'll check out how
you can do it.

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.
