FTP With IP Address Filtering
Aug 4, 2008
I took over some sites that have a Windows hosting package. They're not high-traffic sites and the content is just typical corporate stuff; it's not sensitive information or anything.
Any they are insisting that they filter the IP addresses allowed to use the FTP account. So I have to give them my IP and it adds it to a safe list. this is causing me problems for urgent updates as sometimes I am working at home or somewhere away and my ISP gives me my IP dynamically, although it doesn't change that often.
Is this normal or necessary? I've never come across it before. I think it's overkill personally. What would you do? If they're worried about security should I ask them to set up SFTP and remove the IP filter?

My customer has an external facing Apache server that is acting as a reverse proxy to two internal applications. They have:
- external addresses for each app which resolve to different ip addresses, so app1.their_domain.com and app2.their_domain.com resolve to 77.3.170.10 and 77.3.170.11 respectively.
- the Apache server has two network interfaces with ip addresses 192.168.10.10 and 192.168.10.11
- the external ip addresses resolve to the above internal addresses
- the firewall between the Apache server and the internal app servers is configured to allow traffic from 192.168.10.10 to reach app_server1, and traffic from 192.168.10.11 to reach app_server2, both using port 7777.
I have configured a virtual host in httpd.conf for each ip, i.e.
Code:
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.10:80>
...
ProxyPass /app http://app_server1:7777/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://app_server1:7777/app
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/app1 [R,L]
...
<VirtualHost>
and
Code:
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.11:80>
...
ProxyPass /app http://app_server2:7777/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://app_server2:7777/app
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/app2 [R,L]
...
<VirtualHost>
This works fine in that the external address are being routed to the correct application, however the firewall is blocking requests to the second app as it appears the requests are coming from the Apache servers 'primary' ip address 192.168.10.10 instead of 192.168.10.11.
Is it possible to send requests using the ip address from the relevant VirtualHost?

I am using virtuozzo firewall to secure access.
I enter 58.27.175.211/255.255.255.0 for Source Address and Netmask for port 22.
But still I can connect using 58.181.103.217 or 58.27.151.120.
Second is it possible to enter two different ip address in source address?

I used to have a reseller account and have shifted everything to a dedicated server. I now find that a couple of clients are getting lots of spam when they didn't before.
It seems that the servers used by the reseller account had some level of basic spam filtering installed; my provider suggested I look for a filtering program to install on my server.
There are, of course, dozens of them, so I wondered if anyone has any experience - enough, perhaps, to make a recommendation.

Even though I have temporarily installed Exchange Server on my dedicated server, I still am thinking about using POP3 instead, simply because of multiple email accounts and my outlook client can use multiple email accounts, and setup rules/filters to direct incoming emails to specific recepients to folders, which is what I want.
Sure, in Windows I know how to set up POP3 BUT what security can I setup for POP3 email accounts?
In addition, what about spam/filtering? How would I set that up to stop spam coming in?

I am having an issue with SPAM and baunced emails.
Spammers are sending out emails to thousands of addresses and putting my email in reply back field so i am getting all complaints/baunced emails etc.
I have DirectAdmin installed which lacks advanced email filtering features and wanted to know how can i setup Exim or what third party software to add to filter all incoming emails based on their subject?
I have Squirrelmail installed and it has these filters but the problem is that it applys its filters only on login and if i am checking email thru POP3 filters dont get applied.

I would like to filter some special mails of mine through an external PHP script. Is this possible? I would like to call the php file everytime a mail arrives, and the php file will make changes to that mail text and save in inbox.
My PHP file is ready but i need to make this work in Exim.

decent spam filtering service that allows you to do multiple domains and charges on a per user basis (with most you have to have the same domain or you have to buy another license pack). Anyway I'm looking to spend around $1-3 per user

I just bought a new ip address and want to setup this new ip as my server's main ip, making the 'existing main ip' as the secondary ip.
Which means, this new ip will be the server's default ip address for all services, including when connecting to other server.
I'm using CentOs 4.5 and swsoft's panels: HSPcomplete & Virtuozzo Power Panel, and Webmin.

Does anybody know if GD filters email BEFORE it reaches my domain? It surely seems so. I recently moved to GD. I turned off spam filtering and don't receive any spam on accounts that used to receive a lot of spam. The only possible explanation is that they kill it before it reaches my domain.

if anyone may know of a server spam filtering product which has these features....
1. stops identified spam at the server and keeps it for a period of time eg 7 days before dumping it
2. forwards clean mail to end user
3. end user gets daily report via email of mail tagged and kept
4. clickable link in daily email report to 'release' mail and send it
5. auto whitelists released mail (ie adds it to bayesian database / whitelist addresses)
6. configurable to work with either individual end user, or with eg domain sysadmin (who can view / help see mail for all domain users)
7. can be either a hosted service, or server software product; although linux opensource server product would be good.....
8. not hugely expensive :-)
I have been using ASSP for quite some time; and like it's accuracy. So I suppose what ideally I'm looking for is ASSP with Bells and Whistles. On Cpanel I'm using grscripts ASSP deluxe, and this already has some great bells, but lacks a couple of the whistles I'd like (as above).
If anyone has ideas - or can point me to other threads (I did a search here already, but couldn't refine my search enough to find anything relevant)

My provider is using mailfoundry for spam filtering.. but I used IMAP (stored on server) for email.. my problem is that I'm also using a catch-all address and I make up random email names for sites I go to, to check for spam on the incoming side..
I setup filters in Cpanel to remove the selected spam or emails I don't wish to recieve.. but they don't seem to remove themselves.. it could just be a setup problem or it could be the mailfoundry.. not sure..
Here's the settings I have in cpanel (I just altered the name) is this the right setting.. or does it go elsewhere?

More out of curiosity than anything, I've been wondering if there are options for filtering outgoing SMTP. Not necessarily every single message, but a firewall-level tool to watch for a sudden burst in SMTP from one host, run some of the messages through SpamAssassin or the like, and trigger an alert if they rank highly for spam.
It seems like it's technologically possible, but I've never heard of anyone doing it, nor seen an actual implementation of it. Has anyone heard of this type of thing?

We have a customer who has their own in-house Exchange server. The problem (don't ge me started!) is that they get a LOT of spam.
We've been looking for some kind of hosted barracuda service, but can't seem to find anything reasonably priced.
So... I'm thinking that maybe for a one-time setup fee we can help them find an Exchange admin who can set them up with Spam Assassin or some other *simple* but effective spam filtering system on their server.

whether our webhost has their configuration messed up, or if this is not genuinely possible with cpanel + exim + shared hosting.
Our email server is hosted with the web host, and what we want to do is to not allow certain users to be able to receive (And send) outgoing email to non-local domains e.g. they should only be able send and receive within our hosted domain, @mydomain.com .
Now, we've tried doing this using cpanel's user level filters and have setup the following:
Rules:
If Field To does not contain @mydomain.com OR
If Field From does not contain @mydomain.com
Action:
Fail with message.
We've tested these filters using combinations and they seem to be working as far as we can see on cpanel (it has the filter testing feature)
Now this works for people sending emails into our domain e.g. someone from hotmail tries sending emails to a user, and it bounces back.
But people from inside the domain can send emails to other domains even when they give valid results on the cpanel filter tester.

I run CentOS 5.2 (Sometimes CentOS 4.6). I have been messing around with IPTables, and cannot find out how to filter zero-length packets.
I believe I might need an unclean module. I have already done hours of reading and researching, but I have come up with nothing, for I do not think this is that common.
If anyone could please let me know the commands to use to filter out all zero-length packets, or the unclean module I need to use with IPTables, I would really appreciate it.

I have a requirement to bring web-filtering inhouse on our own hardware.
This is to support up to 50 remote sites - I've looked at iron port / barracuda but Im not sure if it can do what is required.
I need each remote site to effectively have a seperate 'account' with the ability for each sites manager to see the traffic just for their site, create users for that site, specify site specific blocks / allows and also monitor which users are browsing which sites.
Does anyone know of a product or application that allows this sort of segmentation? I'm not a big fan of Surf Control (I don't believe it's able to deal with this sort of setup)
The other option is 1 appliance per remote site - but the costs associated with this are probably out of our budget for this project.
This one's an itnerestign one thats been bugging me for a while!

I have a VPS with cPanel/WHM where I am also running the MailScanner package as an anti-virus/anti-spam solution.
I would like to extend this service to clients who are satisfied with their web and email hosting but not with their spam control solution. That is, I would like MailScanner to process their email before it reaches their server. I believe this can be done by changing the MX records of the external domains to point to the mail server on my VPS.
The problem is, I don't know if I should put host.myhostname.com (my VPS hostname) or my IP address in their MX records. Also, to make MailScanner process their emails, I need to add their domains to my MailScanner configuration at etc/localdomains, but I assume that also means I have to create a mail-only account for the domain in WHM?

Can anyone recommend a hosted third-party spam filtering service for cPanel servers?
Most of the servers are reseller based, and I don't see myself or my team having to enter each individual email address into the service.
With that said, is there any service where you can just point the MX records to it, it would scan the email, and then deliver it?

I am using a Windows 7 and the proxy server is working fine. However, I need to run a web content filtering on the server. This should be able to replace or change specific words or phrases from an incoming html and deliver it to the client. I have searched the internet for days for a working configuration but none of them worked. Here is the current configuration I added on the httpd.conf file:
<IfModule mod_ext_filter.c>
ExtFilterDefine add-tm mode=output intype=text/html/php cmd="Apache/bin/GnuWin32/bin 's/Company1/MyCompany1/g'"
SetOutputFilter add-tm
</IfModule>
<Location "/web/">
SetOutputFilter add-tm
OutputSed "s/Company1/MyCompany1/g"
</Location>
I have also uncommented these modules:
LoadModule ext_filter_module modules/mod_ext_filter.so
LoadModule file_cache_module modules/mod_file_cache.so
LoadModule filter_module modules/mod_filter.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
