I'm hearing conflicting information in adding specific port rule block
assignments to the rule-set to stem the possibility of any new nasties getting
in.

Anyone have any comments on this?

Running Kerio [v2.1.5]

TIA

You can certainly add any rules you like to the rule set. I prefer to
keep it as short and compact and simple as possible. But there's
nothing saying you can't add rules to block specific ports. If you're
talking about inbound traffic though, why not just put a block all rule
at the end to shut out anything else? To me, this is easier than adding
a dozen rules for specific ports. Unless there's some other reason for
them...

Ah, the famous block all rule, which I had forgotten.
Now in place, thanks!
The "Blarp" Kerio FAQ pages can be pulled via the Web Archive, btw -
Some pages I've been going over:
