I would definitely have to agree. The interface for 3.01 of
Sidewinder is quite nice (although I still prefer the cf lines for most
admin. tasks). It is quite easy to open up ports and such, quite a lot
easier than many other firewalls I've seen.
I would agree, the Mail filtering capabilities are quite cool.. The
drag-and-drop approach, and the configuration of the filtering/auditing is
quite spiff.
