For example, I would like a report of number of e-mails sent and >to which sites monthly. This is actually how a stateful firewall works. Checkpoint maintains a connection table of everything incoming and outgoing that it has 'seen'. If it sees a 'close' of connection then it'll expire the connection from the table. It will also time out a connection after a period of time (default is 3600 seconds IIRC). It then gets removed from the state table, and any further packets from this connection will be dropped. The firewall logs will allow you to check for email numbers and destinations - just check for outbound port 25 connections. Or have a look at your mail logs. -- Ed Rolison Systems Admin ER706-RIPE [email protected] ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
