Red Hat 9 is totally ancient and obsolete. The official end-of-life was on April 30, 2004 and it is no longer supported.

If you want to stick with RedHat then you should consider CentOS 5.

I agree with BlueC.
By the way, you can look at those:

Squid ( it has a lot of options and url rewriters )
Qmail
Iptables
Syslog
SSH

Ignore the Debian Etch part - the rest should work on any distro. Might have to tweak some paths, but it's all basically the same.

Email content filtering is another beast. Do you mean anti-virus or do you mean actual content filtering, as with Dan's Guardian?

Another possibility is Untangle. I haven't explored it much, but it's worth taking a look.
