Hello Firewall Digest Owner and fellow Subscribers:

Does anyone know of a way to make this Firewall Digest (or any public mailing 
list) forward me only the e-mail that has certain information pertaining to only 
topics of my interest.  The firewall digest is a joy to read and has a lot of 
great information; however, I would like to save time and only read the digests 
that include information about a particular product (i.e., IRX Routers, 
Crypto-based products), a certain type of firewall (i.e., Firewall-1, RAPTOR), 
information from / about a certain group (i.e., Computer Emergency Response Team 
(CERT), HACKERS), or about a certain topic (i.e., IP Spoofing attacks, logic 
bombs, trojan horses, firewall administration).

If anyone has / uses such a filter please let me know.  If there is no such 
thing in existence, it would be a great product / utility for someone to develop 
either on the digest owners side (while subscribing to a digest, the subscriber 
has the option to create a "hot" list of words / topics that must (optional) be 
included in the header and/or body of the document) or on the subscribers side 
(the Internet e-mail package used or a third party package, has a feature to 
only except e-mail from a subscription that includes words / topics from the 
subscribers editable "hot" list).
 

PRE-RETURN RESPONSE 1:  

The find / search function only provides the ability to search a document for 
(1) topic at a time.  If I have 10 to 20 topics of interest, I would have 
to repeat the find / search 10 to 20 times.  This does NOT save time.


PRE-RETURN RESPONSE 2:

Yes, if there is/are NO existing product(s) that provide this feature and one 
who reads this message develops one, royalties for this concept/idea would be 
greatly appreciated; even though  The 'time' such a utility would / will save me 
and the rest of the Internet e-mail world is immeasurable.


If you would like to reach me directly, please send e-mail to 
[ davey_s @
 panynj .
 gov ] or [ davey @
 alpha .
 fdu .
 edu ].  Thank you for your time
and cooperation in this matter.


Sincerely,


Steven A.N.Q.L. Davey
