It turns out I got a lot of "Relics"* floating around at work.
The boss is not letting me throw them out, and they are just impossible to sell.
Anyway, I am thinking about using these things for a Firewall / Spam / Virus filter as our work does get alot of spam. Main thing is SPAM as that is the only problem we are really getting.
Our connection is like this :-
DLS --> SBS2003 Server with Outlook Exchange server --> Local Network.
Our Email comes directly from out Host to our Exchange server.
What i would like to do is put a Linux Spam filter using one of these RELICS that i got lying around. Basically they will need to have 2 NICs install for incomming and outgoing.
It will also have other internet traffic like HTTP, FTP going through it this box too.
Any suggestions?
Would like to keep with Ubuntu if that is possible.
* RELIC -- Any computer that is 500Mhz and lower.
