The rules are from Real World Linux Security by Bob Toxen.

Email from Debian works.  I don't get email via Win98 - I might as well
douse myself in steak sauce and jump in the tiger pit at the zoo.

IE from Win98 works, Mozilla from Debian doesn't.

With these rules, samba couldn't restore the mapped drive I have from
Win98 to /home/user.

Not a clue.  I don't have an imap account.

Yes from IE in Win98.
No from Debian Mozilla.  Here's an example of the messages:
Aug 28 17:35:55 ganesha kernel: DROPl:IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.2.30
DST=205.156.51.200 LEN=44 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=21328 DF
PROTO=TCP SPT=34131 DPT=80 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

I'm curious that IN is blank.

Thanks,
Bret
