Depends on the operating system.

Without the operating system, it is difficult to give any suggestions as Steve has stated.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

If you have not secured a server before, at least hire a professional a few times before doing it yourself.

I am looking for Windows server, I am not asking for my servers as it is handled by highly qualified technicians, I like to know myself for knowledge wise and I like to check myself whether I have good idea of those issues comparing with others.

What is your current network security setup? What are we securing?
Some background would certainly be useful.Craig Newton

Well, if you are using Redhat Linux, cPanel has some nice tools for Spam Resistance, and Email... Not quite sure about the anit-hacking though...
