How would a proxy server get around this? I don't quite understand how they
work. Do you see any problems with my solution, which is to simply have a
firewall rule that closes the ports off to their portscanning box? Unless
they try to access my box from outside the @home network, they should be
none the wiser...or so I'm hoping. I don't think they would go so far as to
sniff packets to see if there's SMTP traffic being sent to me.
