John,

MIght be good ... it doesn't really do anything except provide you with
the info.

I personally block all port 25 outbound connections except for
authorized mail servers ... and all port 110 outbound connections except
from authorized machines (that scan for viruses and delete spam)...but
this is still a good tool for info.

I would like for this to be affordable or 'free', I don't want to spend 
$500 per year (if I did stuff like that, why would I be on this list? :) )

I need to be able to monitor servers on a remote network where I do not 
have direct access to the router. I sure would like for the reports to 
be created in html or some such, where I could reach them via my browser.</I></FONT></PRE>
