I'm not sure which filtering software you are using but another route may =
be to set up your staff on a different, less-restrictive filter policy. =
Having everyone go through our filter provides us with good information =
and keeps our network a bit more secure. Also, all systems must not have =
direct access to the internet if we are to qualify for e-Rate funding. =20
=20
On another note, we do not allow access to outside email for anyone in =
efforts to keep malware out.
Thanks.

I am not an "IT" person by training. So I learn as I go.

I know that there is a way to allow our teachers to bypass the filter. =20
Where would I find the website, IP address that would give me the =20
information? I have all the users set up in our SonicWall. This will =20
allow me to lock down the web-based email programs (i.e. hotmail, =20
yahoo).

We use manual IP addresses and inherit our DNS servers from the WAN.

Thanks!
