I want to block the SMTP traffic from my Local LAN to internet at my Linux box. What Changes i have to made to my firewall file.

Please Help me out......

advance thanx,,

if you have a firewall you can add a rule to drop all SMTP traffic

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 25 -j DROP

or

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT

You can also use /etc/hosts.deny

smtp: <network address>

For example

smtp: 192.168.100.
