Re: [SLE] Preventing a single IP from sending mail

If you're in a hurry ipchains -I input 1 -s ip.of.machine --dport 25 -j DENY otherwise there's a file in /etc/mail called access, that I think is for this purpose, but you're supposed to build /etc/mail/access.db with it and I haven't figured out how to do that yet. regards Anders On Thursday 06 September 2001 20.54, Chuck wrote:

We are using a SuSE 70 machine as our corporate mail server. I need to prevent a single IP address from being able to send mail through the server. What is the easiest way to do this?

I need a flexible and fast method that can be done anytime, ie, on the fly when I am notified that an employee is being terminated.
