iptables finetuning, blocking icmp?

im running a simple web and mail server on fc3.

right now i'm allowing all icmp traffic to pass through iptables but i wondered what icmp traffic i might block to fine tune the firewall some more.

for this server to peform its duty properly, what icmp traffic should be accepted at least and what can safely be dropped at most?

i'm not to familiar with icmp so any advice and or examples would be welcome.
