Re: [FW-1] Cannot Compile



In a security server, use Reject or Drop in a rule, both generate a Reject in
the log, because the firewall can't drop the SMTP connection request it has to
accept it, open it, and read it before it can decide if it accept or reject
it based on the email address and mime types used in the email. So the
real action can't be drop. For an analogy, how can you know who for sure
who is calling you without answering the call (yourself or your answering
machine) even if you have caller id ? You can't, you have to first answer
it to hear the other person and identify it.

So as soon as a packet as to pass in a security server rule, even if it
is dropped in a normal rule (maybe the catch all one) iin fact it will
be rejected as you can verify in the action field of your log file.

Then *{*@vhost²}* mean:
     is anything followed by anything followed by any of:
              anything followed by @vhost followed by anything
     followed by anything

While {*@vhost²} mean
      is any of:
             anything followed by @vhost followed by anything

which are the same...

As i missed the inital email i don't know what is the problem but i
am not sure this is not the solution, sorry...

Can i have the original email again ?
