I don't think he wants to block off the public, just someone he has detected abusing.
exactly and I am presently using fail2ban to block:
[postfix-tcpwrapper]
enabled = true filter = postfix action = hostsdeny[file=/etc/hosts.deny] mail[name=Postfix, dest=postmaster@localhost] logpath = /var/log/mail bantime = 300
which places 554 rejection ip into /etc/hosts.deny, but the firewall action denying rogue ssh attempts is cleaner, requires less resources and sees the ip sooner.
is this correct: FW_SERVICES_ACCEPT_EXT="0/0,tcp,25,,hitcount=3,blockseconds=120
So, any host that has a lot of messages to send to users on your system will be banned, correct? We frequently have occasion to send thousands of business-related messages to a single domain, and if they use some simple-minded smtp connection rate or traffic measurement, they would end up blocking us. Heads would soon roll for that sort of nonsense. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
