I have spamassassin configured its working 90% but still I am receiving mails from my ID only. Like I have info@domain.com so I am receiving mail from info@domain.com to info@domain.com.

My server is sending all emails via exim smarthost to other specialised exim server (both cPanel). How may I limit customers from sending out SPAM ? Mean to scan outgoing emails and delete/store in some folder which ones identified as SPAM. Preferrably the scan part to be on exim email proxy cause it is much idle.

I see in the plesk documentation that the screen to enable SPAM filtering for an individual there is an option to "Move spam to the Spam folder". I don't see that option so I am wondering if it is only available on some versions of Plesk, or in combination with certain mail servers. How to make that option available?
I am curious, what is the best way to ban certain IP from accessing server? I have software firewall (APF) and there is, of course, /etc/hosts.deny.
Which is the most efficient? I've read that software firewall becomes unstable after so many entries. Does the same apply to /etc/hosts.deny file?
Or is there a better way altogether?
some Chinese forums hotlinking images from my site and I even delete those images they keep sending me huge amount of http requests to my hosting server and eating 800mb of memory and upto 1GB cause server crash
I tried to block incoming referrer traffic from those sites using htaccess but it didn't work , I still see their http request on my server logs and memory keep goes high , am not sure my code is the right
how can I block these http request from these domains , what is the right htaccess code , I use DirectAdmin panel by the way
Can any one let me know how to block a range IP on SSH?

how can i block to access to some IP?
for examaple scripts in my hosts can not access to some IPs i want
Fortigate appliances blocking an IP that is not in RBLs I have a problem with the IP 66.187.108.157 of my VPS it seems to be blocked by Fortigate appliances, as you can see in this error message:
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:[url] host mail.am.com.pe [200.62.221.107]: 554 5.7.1 This message has been
blocked because it is from a FortiGuard - AntiSpam black IP address.(connection black ip 66.187.108.157)
However I have searched in this URL [url]and it is clean.
Any ideas on how to have/force Fortigate databases to become updated.
IM about tired of spam and hackers putting phishing items on my server.
My question is.
How can I block the whole world expect for US, CA and UK?
I've added several countrys to csf's csf.deny list but half of them keep disappearing.
Is there any way to block a particular ISP? Have a visitor that changes IP hourly, but the IP always resolves back to a hostname like dsl.yuns.sksk.uk .
I have CSF installed. Any way to block all visitors from dsl.yuns.sksk.uk?
in one of my servers i have this line in my ConfigServer Security & Firewall:
190.28.118.155 # lfd: 10 (suhosin) login failures from 190.28.118.155 - Mon Jun 16 23:27:50 2008
is this ok? i mean... its an attack of some sort? i know suhosin is meant to increase php security, so its blocking an attack right?
I have blocked this IP 125.115.144.28
/etc/apf/apf -d 125.115.144.28
But
netstat -anp|grep tcp|awk '{print $5}'| cut -d : -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
It still showing
202 125.115.144.28
Why?
Is it supposed to blocked right away, or need some time to get blocked.
When I checked /etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules
The IP is in the file.
I set up a forum for a small group of users, so I don't really wish to see spiders or bots on it, so I've put a robots.txt file there to prevent all of them from accessing the forum pages.
I know not all bots follow the robots.txt rule, and these days a really annoying bot called MUNAXNET or Munax AB with IP range 82.99.30.0 - 82.99.30.127 is causing the forum to have extra and unexpected loads.
I've tried to block this IP range with .htaccess and uploaded it to the root of the site a few days ago, here is the content:
<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny
deny from 82.99.30.0-82.99.30.127
allow from all
</LIMIT>
However strangely it seems that all of these are not working for this bot, today I saw my forum had 80 users online and that army still keeps coming and browsing all pages of my forums...
I tested the .htaccess with blocking myself, and it actually worked for me, dunno why it's not working for that bot..
I was just researching my log analyzers to see whats happening... I noticed something new in the logs, a large number of unnamed robots or spiders... so I found the robot... it was this:
23310 7.99% 23303 9.48% 1159765 18.56% 22 0.12% 77.88.26.26
After some reading, sites say the ip belongs to spider26.yandex.ru
For simply security reasons, would it be in best interest to block the entire subnet? It seems that the same IP ending in .25 belongs to spider25.yandex.ru
Is anyone using snort?
Does it really block any web based attacks?
I know I can do port scans, and it can alert you to a whole bunch of false positvies, but is it blocking/detecting any serious attacks on your web server?
If so, which rules are the one is alerting on?
I have a Juniper firewall. I'm seeing a ton of traffic from the Twiceler bot in the range of 100,000 hits a day. Luckily they've more recently put up a list of IP addresses their bots use at:
[url]
So, I'm blocking all of these now. However I think it's a simple Netmask issue I'm having. I'm blocking all ports from
208.36.144.0/24
38.99.13.0/24
38.99.44.0/24
64.1.215.0/24
However, I am still seeing the bot in server log files. Could it be that I should not be specifying .0 at the end, but instead .1? Like this in the policy?
64.1.215.1/24
How do I block known proxy sites such as anonymouse.org or such via CSF (firewall)? I'll need to block by domains, wildcard domains (such as *proxy.tld) and IP's.
What is the proper way and is there a nice list of such proxies? I'm trying to prevent some degenerate troll from accessing my forum.
Since yesterday I have noticed some odd activity at one of my websites - www.cartuningcentral.com
The problem is that I am getting huge traffic from what I would say are traffic exchange programs, which I didn't buy, and don't want to have at all.
Examples of the referrals I am getting are:
[url]
[url]
Full details can be found here:
[url]
Now, I have tried to block all those using .htaccess, but I am by no means an expert on that.
Here's what I have done:
RewriteEngine on
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(http://)?67.192.42.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (tserve) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (trafficserver) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (67.192.42.2) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (67.192.42.5) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]
But it's not working at all.
how to block those referrals please?
It can be either using .htaccess, php, whatever.
I Have APF and BFD Installed but it always seems to show 80 odd events before blocking the IP. Is there a way of setting it to say 10 wrong attempts?
I Tried this, but it hasn't done a thing. below happened after the change.

I am seeing quite a few hacking attempts coming from the TOR network. I'd like to block the TOR network on the firewall level. Anyone know how to block them?
There is a python script, but I am not familiar with Python at all and do not know how run this script. It is supposed to extract all current IP Addresses and provide a list.
I think they have about 450 IP addresses and I would like to block them.
