SP0 and SP1 both had a firewall, it just wasn't enabled in the default installation.
The biggest security benefit that SP2 offerred was that it simply turned on the firewall
that was there all along. When M$ handles security issues that way has a lot to do
with why so many of us have not bothered with SP2 or any of the updates. Earlier
security related patches simply turned off features in OE that essentially crippled
it as an email program. That's not a fix, it's a band-aid.
How did you control it? Exactly the same way it's done in SP2.
