RE: Capturing network traffic and warning if its volume crosses a defined limit

["Pranav Lal" <pranav.lal () gmail com>]

Hi all,

Thanks for your suggestions.

1. I like the idea of the layer 1 hub. It will save us from playing with bridging connections etc.

2. As for what my friend wants to do:
(1) Log all traffic incoming and outgoing from the exchange server.
(2) If the messages sent by the exchange server exceeds a specified number, the message sending should be stopped until 
he can come and review it.
Note:
> From what he told me, his server was not being used as an open relay.

As for pfSense, how friendly is the interface? I have not had a chance to try it. My friend is an above average windows 
user.  He does not have a problem with the command line either given that he used to work on computers during the DOS 
days but I do not know if he has had any Linux / free BSD experience.
