The Linux kernel includes the Netfilter subsystem, which is used to manipulate or decide the fate of network traffic headed into or through your server. All modern Linux firewall solutions use this system for packet filtering.

The kernel’s packet filtering system would be of little use to administrators without a userspace interface to manage it. This is the purpose of iptables. When a packet reaches your server, it will be handed off to the Netfilter subsystem for acceptance, manipulation, or rejection based on the rules supplied to it from userspace via iptables. Thus, iptables is all you need to manage your firewall if you’re familiar with it, but many frontends are available to simplify the task.

Thunderbird 3.0alpha1 is intended to be a (mostly) date-driven release. The main goal is to starting shipping software again; a secondary goal is to show that we’ve got something that’s already ahead of Thunderbird 2.0.
