Michael,
Check my previous post for all the grueling details. You can whitelist
and then "http_access deny all" with squid. It also gives you logs of
deny and accept requests. And again, dansGuardian is based on squid to
my knowledge. The e-mail thing is a little more interesting. Probably
procmail with recipes like:
# trusted Family Member rule
:0:
* ^From.*grandmasUniqueAddress
sonsMailbox
# Some rule to delete unknown mail
:0
* ^From.*
/dev/null
Or you could store the mail in a different folder for you to review.
HTH!
