 Da22inBuck Fush join:2002-06-10 Charlotte, NC | Already there... My ISP, Comporium, has had spam filtering and email worm/virus protection in place for around a year now. They added it at no additional cost to the customer. I believe it's working great. I've yet to see anything sinister showing up in email (I also have my own protection in place) and the spam went from 15-20 junk emails a day to 1 or 2 a week that may slip through.
Blocking ports? Absolutely not, I think that's taking things a bit too far. I want access to all 65535 of them. Even monitoring certain ports is questionable...next they'll be "sniffing" packets; though I'm quite certain the US government has already taken the initiative on that one.
