I’m a home user of astaro. And I have been using it since version 3 and looked some at version 2.
I liked it and my father was mighty impressed about it and decided to buy it for the company his working for.
It became an Enterprise license with 250ip's with virus scan.
First of all I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for an excellent work with this software. IT'S GREAT!!!

However when I configured my fathers firewall at the office I found some questions and features I would be delighted
to have answered and implemented.
Hopefully you can implement a few of them and you can make an excellent product even more excellent [;)]
The things I wonder about:
1: Does Astaro have "Bayesian Learning" or any other type in its spam protection?
2: If YES, is the database included in the backup?
The features I want:
1: If the answer to the first question above was "NO", can "Bayesian Learning"
or something like that be implemented? (Very wanted feature)
1,5: As a following question, can you make a feature where the users
who get a "SPAM" marked mail will be able to send it back to the Firewall
(With special e-mail address's for example SPAM/NOSPAM) and then the server
will process these addresses once a day. And then add/remove them to or from
the Bayesian database? (Very wanted feature)
I have seen it implemented in this document "lawmonkey.org/anti-spam.html"
2: Can you add an option that allows a comment row in the packet filter section? (Very wanted feature)
3: A more specific ICMP part, so you can block "ping" on the external interface and not the Internal and so on.
4: User defined alerts, like when a port is connected. That then will be sent to an email address.
5: Time trigged rules, e.g. rule one will apply at 12:00.
6: Extend the GUI of the DNS-proxy so you can use it as a "real" dnsserver.
Adding zones and records and so on. (Very wanted feature)
7: SMP support (Hyper-Threading) (We use an Dell 2650 with a Xeon and we want to get the most out of the machine) [;)]
8: Self defined "reject messages" for spam, virus etc from the SMTP-proxy. (Very wanted feature)
9: Control inbound access to the PPTP-Roadwarrior by IP-address.
10: Force the SMTP-Proxy to only listen to a specific IP-address.
That’s all folks, Hope I came with some good suggestions for you.
And keep up the good work!!! :-)
PS: Some feedback to your HCL, Dell 2650 works fine although the Network Interfaces ended up to be unknown in the WebAdmin GUI (Although they were recognized to be broadcom nic's during the installation).
This is how it looks,
