Hi everybody I suffered an attack to my POP3 Daemon, I'm using imap-2001a-38 as imap and pop3 daemon. It seems that an attacker sent lots of pop3 request causing the daemon to crash. I could not find any workaround except filtering pop3 request from outside. Is this problem reported anywhere, what can I do?

Maybe use the Courier-Imap package?! The performance is much better. ...but how is this security related? :-) On Montag 20 September 2004 15:56, Pablo Ronco wrote:

How come, a DOS atack is not security related? Then, what is? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I use qpopper pop3-daemon, because it has some more authentificationmethodes and is more reliable. If you want to filter, there is an iptables option for xx packets/time maybe that helps. No debate on security relation, but this may be a brute-force hack of your pop-daemon (not a DoS even if your daemon crashes). This is sort of script-kiddie. Run TCP-dump on pop3-port and look what he's doing or watch mail-log. Philippe
