I'm sorry your having problems, but I'm glad this subject came up.

I host my domain on a LINUX box via dialup PPP.  I am sure I should
do the firewall thing, but I'm not sure how to go about it.  I looked
at some of the O'Reilly books and they didn't seem very specific.

Could someone reccomend a web site which describes how to harden RH?
I don't want to make a career out of administering my mailhost, etc.
