Interesting. I went with a Slackware install for the OS and originally Dansguardian - now moved onto E2Guardian for internet content filtering and plain old IP tables for firewall services.

I find that I can do far more tweaking with E2Guardian than a proprietary product, it doesn't cost me anything to buy and its far more secure in the sense that Slackware is not a popular platform and is old style Linux - more closely related to Freebsd I believe so is not as vulnerable as more mainstream products where the hackers know all the flaws of whatever. Not that it can't be hacked, but because its not a popular platform its less likely to be hacked than say redhat.

Maybe your requirements are different from mine, but what I have for content filtering ticks all my boxes. Anyway I don't want to go offtopic with filtering.

The point of my original post yesterday was to point doc in the direction of the program that I had found as I know that he was looking for something like this. I did not expect anyone else to be interested in the topic lol
So Doc you now have Mdaemon and hmailserver to compare!
