Re: File Catching Firewall?

["JM" <jm () mindless com>]

I would suggest reviewing what you are using and it's configuration.

It should not be letting anything through that you have it set to block.

That would be my priority.  After that you could build in additional layers.
But one component configured correctly is better than 2 configured wrong!

Cheers
