Tom and Jim, I thank you both for your help and guidance, not just in my question, but in the 100's of other questions/problems that you have solved/answered, even though this is the first time I have put a question to this thread, I try to read it as often as possible. Keep up the good work and Many regards Steve Hi Steve, OK, this is for Web browsing, not for SMTP. Like Jim said, you really get into a pickle when you try to create such restrictions. It is possible to create a "Deny All" Site and Content Rule, then create an exceptions list. But what happens in practice is that a particular site links to a another site that is not on the allowed list. This leads to: 1. You making it an avocation to update your White list or 2. Creating black lists instead of White lists or most likely, 3. You going insane trying to get a fine level of control over what people view. I find that the best solution is to create a network usage policy, make it clear to users what this policy is and that they're being watched, and then post your reports of where users are going each week. Its sort of like when I was a kid (in the old world order) where the grades were posted in public. People who did good got kudos for that, and those who didn't do good got to sit in the corner with a "dunce cap" :-) That gave the dunces the opportunity to work harder to get out of corner, or stratify themselves and perhaps prepare them for their futures in cell-block 9 ;-) Give it a try and I think your boss will get a kick out of it. Just make sure to remove his entries from the reports :-D HTH, Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Many Regards Steve Collier Sender: steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Recipient(s): isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 07:37:07 Sun 2 Nov 2003 Attachment(s): 0 -------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: Computer viruses can be transmitted via email.
