I am trying to capture the clients ipaddress who ever are accessing my server. i used the method request.getRemoteAddr() .but i see always 127.0.0.1 instead of the clients ip address.i tried accessing my server from different machines having different ip address but my logs show me 127.0.0.1.
i guess something is wrong with my tomcat configuration.
Our network have been ddosed very heavily for the last 15 days.
These attacks are relatively small 50 - 100 mbits at most but in very very high PPS rate.My firewall counts 10Billion packets in a single hour of an attack period.
We are dealing with these attacks with a combination of freebsd pf transparent bridge firewalls and mostly null routing.
I were able to capture some packets from different attacks from last week and today.
After deeply checking these attack capture files I can see that our attack comes from several thousands different spoofed Ip addresses but always the same mac address in their packet headers.So I thought if this attack is coming to us from a single machine rather than hundreds of different zombie servers.
I don't have a clue how to trace back this attack and find the real ip address behind. My upstream provider also don't have enough knowledge to help me.
So after todays attack I thought about sharing my capture files during attack and hope that someone here will help me. And show me a way to trace back these attacks.
I made a change to one file in /etc/exim4/virtuals - all I did was to add a new line in a file like this:
mailbox: tony
Saved it and then did a
/etc/init.d/exim4 reload
All of sudden, all of my emails has stopped working!
I sent a test email to my address, never received it...
I looked at mainlog - nothing is being added to it.
Same with rejectlog
What am I missing?
Server is Ubuntu and this is a decidated server.
I going to develope website which allow users to register their anonymous email address.
Lets call that domain privateemail.com
so, user is able to register address: user@privateemail.com and he provides us his valid email, lets say user@gmail.com
From now, we want to redirect all emails sent to user@privateemail.com to user@gmail.com.
Is there any easy and fast method to add such redirection into Exim (or any other MTA)?
i have exim mail server + SpamAssassin + mail scanner.
i want to redirect a copy of all incoming mail to php script, or how i can save the emails in to mysql database not on hdd.

I just want to check my email. Unfortunately, my connection dropped while I was downloading mail and now exim wants me to wait for the previous open connection to timeout.
So where is the exim lock file stored by default? I just want to delete it and access my email NOW!
Just started to have problems sending emails out but no problem receiving.
Seems to be a exim problem.. tried updating it but the problem still exist but everytime I restart exim then it works for a few hours before the problem comes back.
For the last 5 days, exim has been retrying to resend email to a recipent every
1 millisecond.
As result, logs are huge, and load is being affected.
So I'd like to know how can I set/configure exim to ingore sending to any
email I'd tell it.
I mean is there any config file I can look into, to set a ignore list, or even
how to have it so that it retries sending every 1 hour, instead of every 1 millisecond.
I get an alert that The exim delivery queue size currently has 3000 emails in it waiting to be processed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having issues in receieving emails. For some reason, the rbl lists I had setup are causing the server to reject emails (retry - timeout). So, I need to take this rbl list completely. How can I do that? exim.conf is locked and using the advanced editor is no fun even though I tried it putting the dnslists without the rbl causing the problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having difficulty sending an email to another email address (with a different domain) which is on the same VPS.The trouble is, on the other domain's VPS control panel, within the DNS settings, the MX records have been pointed externally (to an exchange server). Their email is turned off. But bizarrely, their mailbox is full.
It seems as though Plesk is ignoring the MX records, and sending MY email internally to the OTHER domain's mailbox on the same VPS.How do I get Plesk to send my mail to the correct EXTERNAL MX records?
I had a email address I deleted on my server (postfix on Debian 4), but to my surprise the server still recieves email for the address!
(I have manually tried sending a email to the address and it comes througt).
I have deleted the address from the /etc/postfix/virtual file and restarted postfix.
What could I have forgotten?
One of my customers asked me if is possible technically to offer free email services.
Since he's going to launch a big portal he want to offer such things later, for all users.
Now, there are problems as:
a) if there is any possibility to compress emails similar with GMAIL or YahooMail or so, because i can't imagine the email is uncompressed
b) how can be handled email boxes over multiple (mail ?) servers if the HDD space needed would be larger than for one server HDD ?
I am having an email issue and I can not resolve. I am hoping for some assisstance here.
One of my local clients are not able to email each other in their office. (About 10 employess I believe)
They are using Outlook mail client, and using ISP's SMTP server. They are able to send/recieve email to other users externally, but not intenally.
Using webmail works perfectly fine.
I spoke with my host and the said everything is working fine. I checked with the ISP to see if they are blocking the IP address on the SMTP server. They said they were not.
I have a personal account on the same server and tried to send email to another local email account, and it did not work either. Tried to send email to my clients email and they did not recieve anything.
I am on the same ISP as my client, so Im still not sure if its the ISP or not.
I setup mail piping with Exim so that e-mails sent to a specific account be forwarded to my PHP script. It's not working properly, because when I send a mail to this account, it's bounced by the mailer daemon:
Code:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to |/home/user/public_html/support/parse.php
generated by support@mydomain.com
local delivery failed
In my /etc/valiases/domain.com file I have:
Code:
support@mydomain.com: "|/home/user/public_html/support/parse.php"
*: :blackhole:
What can be causing the error?
On one my servers, I'm receiving hundreds of spam emails that are clogging up the email queue to email addresses that do not exist.
For instance domain.com, I would get
bob@domain.com
liz@domain.com
325235@domain.com
You get the picture. How do I setup my server so that if there isn't an email address setup the email automatically gets deleted instead of trying to attempt to deliver it?
