What is the command I need to issue to block an IP address from my server? I need to block both inbound and outbound access.
I need the rule to append to existing rules so if the server is rebooted the rule will still be in effect.
I am moving into the world of dedicated servers (from VPS). I just got a server from Serveraday.com /OLM.net.
When I was doing bandwidth tests, I found the server's inbound speed was much slower than outbound. I tried downloading a bunch of different provider's 10MB test files from the command line of my server using wget. They were all around 20-30 Kbps.
When I take those same 10MB files and serve them from my dedicated box, the results are much different. My server can push the files out at over 1Mbps.
Why would my server be set up this way, and is this normal behaviour? I sent a ticket to OLM, but their support seems to take a long time. So I figured I would bounce the question off of all you here on WHT
any good solution for corporates out there?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm using the free edition of MailEnable and need to configure each post office to copy all incoming and outgoing email to one of the email accounts on the same post office.
Is there a way to configure this ?
I know I can configure mail forwarding on incoming mail per account but need to do it for all acounts (except the audit account).
e.g. anythinghere@dbnetsolutions.co.uk
incoming or outgoing would be copied to audit@dbnetsolutions.co.uk
1/ What is the difference between maillog and maillog.processed? I want to keep a permanent record of all mail inbound and outbound even if delivery is deferred by the gray listing. I'm not sure which one is the best to keep.
2/ I would like to change the way that the mail logs get log rotated. I am struggling to work out exactly what happens at the moment but I would like to rotate the log out every day regardless of size. I think currently that the maillog.processed is rotated daily if it is over a specific size.
For some reason, I want to block port 25 for temporary time while editing the exim config and open it back using iptables -F command.
Anyone can let me know the command to block port 25 using IPtables command.
I'm trying to figure out an iptables rule to block certain ips for a limited duration, after which the block rule will be removed.
hits to the iptables filter while the ip is blocked should not renew the timer.
i got as far as:
iptables -A INPUT -m recent --name blacklist --rcheck --seconds 10 -j REJECT
iptables -A INPUT -m recent --name blacklist --remove
but how do i blacklist an ip now ? (this needs to be done via external app and not via iptables matches/hitcounts)
iptables -A INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -m recent --name blacklist --set
would renew the blacklist every time that ip sends a packet no matter if it is blocked or not. and also that rule would remain in iptables even when expired
I use
iptables -I INPUT -s 60.216.238.212 -j DROP
To block ip, not working
After issue
netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
I can still see
87 218.86.252.158
163 219.150.191.62
301 60.216.238.212
60.216.238.212 still has 301 connection, any idea.
Basically, I use ddos-deflate to block ddos attack.
I already set the max conection to 25.
But it seems not working.
all the connections over 25 have not been blocked.
Did I miss something?
I mean after I issue
iptables -I INPUT -s 60.216.238.212 -j DROP
Do I need to do something like refresh iptables?
I recently looked at my secure and mesaages log and have been getting a lot of failed SSH root login attempts. So I thought I better do something about it.
Ideally I want to allow SSH login from just 3 remote public IP's, and block all others from even trying
How would you go about implementing this?
I have tried using IPTables, but I think im getting the rule wrong somewhere.
Here is what I have:
Code:
## Access to SSH from Pre-approved IP Addresses ONLY ##
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 123.123.123.123 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 123.123.123.124 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 123.123.123.125 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 4 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 0.0.0.0 -j DROP
However this still lets me login from IPs not in the list above?
Imagine you want a set of servers (VPSs would be a cheaper choice, that is why I am posting here) that do not have much outbound traffic but download from other servers (more or less as spiders, but I am not trying to create a web index). Disk space or memory size are not important, but port speed and monthly transfer should be as high as possible. As inbound traffic is less frequently used, I wonder if any provider offer cheaper rates if traffic is like this.
I have been searching the forums and have not found too much about this topic (a quite related post named "I want to download the Internet" or something similar did not get a conclusion).
Why did my inbound traffic jump? Any ideas what could be happening here? I have this server and do not upload anything on the server?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have 2 IPs bounded on a Windows 2003 server. These 2 IPs have different network routes (one uses network A, one uses network B). Obviously for outbound traffic I can freely choose which IP to use (I simply choose to use [url]or [url]), however I wonder if it's possible to tell the server which IP it should use for inbound traffic when I need to download something from the internet to the server?

With the standard-DNS-Layout every customer has an MX-entry like MX 10 mail.customerdomainexample.com
The problem is, that inbound mailservers get a TLS warning, because the mailhostname does not match mail.companydomainexample.com, which is the domain with a valid SSL-Certificate pointing to the same server.
Wouldn't it make sense to change the default template to mail.companydomainexample.com since it is the same machine anyway?
I am having some problems with the inbound smtp sockets, we are receiving a constant attack from spammers, and they are taking all the sockets we have open for our users. We have enable SPF, greylisting, inbound control access through authentication, relay access with authentication also. but after some weeks we are on the same situation yet. We have spam assasin also installed as power pack from plesk, and we have add DSN black list from b.barracudacentral.org, bl.mailspike.net and bl.spamcop.net but we still suffer from this problem.
We have also try to increase the socket assigned to 200 and after some minutes they used all again and the CPU change increase up to 25% of the total capacity.
I ran the script in KB article 123160 [1] to disable SSLv3 and avoid the POODLE vulnerability, but I recently discovered that this has caused all inbound emails to bounce. The bounce message says, "TLS Negotiation failed."

I have been searching for a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist but it does.
Background:
I have a customer on a UK server who sends emails to 500+ recipients on a monthly basis, and all but 3 emails are delivered....
The 3 that don't go, bounce after 3 days (as per the exim setup)
The 3 recipient domain's that reject don't seem to accept email from UK/European ip's and I have tried to send them emails from 4 different networks and still they bounce.
I have even tried to contact them via gmail, and still not heard back.
Proposed solution:
I want to be able to send email for that 1 domain to a Postfix Relay I have in the US.
Question:
How do I achieve this within Exim (a Cpanel Server).
I have found that so far its to do with the Router Configuration section within the Cpanel Exim setup, but I cannot seem to find an example of what and where i need to change the config...
Can anyone provide an example?
A prospect wants an email server that could allow him to restrict some accounts and make them send emails only to the companies domain.

I have an interesting situation on my CentOS 4 server. I have a number of virtual adapters (e.g. eth0:1, eth0:2 etc), and for some reason all outbound traffic is going through one of these, not eth0. If I go to ipchicken.com, it shows the ipaddress of a virtual adapter, not the normal eth0 adapter.
I have been looking around for information on how to set the default adapter to eth0, but I can't seem to find anything. I can't reboot yet, as it's a production server, so I have to wait for 'scheduled maintenance'. If that's the solution, I can try it, but I am sure there is another underlying issue/routine here.
Is there a way, while live, to set the outbound adapter back to eth0?
Please note, that I have only just realized this has happened. In fact, it has been this way since November. I can tell because server name stamps on Email messages sent from this server indicate a virtual domain at that IP address. I recall I had done some work around that time, which had involved me ifup'ing and ifdown'ing some of these adapters (but not eth0, or the eth0:100 adapter (if I recall correctly) that is now the default).
Also note that I have groups of eth0 adapters, such like:
eth0:1
eth0:2
eth0:3
eth0:100
eth0:101
eth0:102
It's the eth0:100 adapter that is now the default.
We have an AWS plesk instance with around 400 domains on. All domains DNS are pointing mail to a different server and almost all domains have a contact form on their website.
the problem is, the contact forms won't work as mail is on a different server. I'm assuming that the local server thinks mail is on the server and thinks it has already been received?
is this because we need to disable incoming mail for all of these domains? if so how would we go about doing this? I tried stopping all courier-imap services but this didn't seem to work.
I need to setup forwarding of a copy of all outbound smtp emails from clients domain (setup on CentOS/cPanel) to their backup gmail / pop account...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting this, but at our hotel, we have wireless routers (Linksys) that any of our clients can use to connect their laptops to the internet. We have been getting reports from our ISP that spam has been coming from our external IP address, so I wanted to know what people would recommend as ways to combat either our computers or any of our clients' computers from sending out spam. The internet is connected through a firewall/server computer running linux. I thought about blocking port 25, but I'm sure we would have clients complaining about not being able to send any mail.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI tried a little searching both in Google and on here but this is probably going to be a private or member-based thing anyway.
I've gotten a couple comments that some of my outbound personal mail is ending up in spam folders. I think it's almost completely limited to having Outlook (or Express?) as a client... which I assume doesn't even do network-based lookups. Nonetheless I don't seem to be on any blacklists, and running it through my own spamassassin filter comes up basically zero score. But the fact that more than one person has had the problem concerns me greatly. Also, I haven't seen any significant reason why the content itself would trigger anything.
I realize a public spam test service would basically be a "testing ground" for spammers to evade detection, but there's obviously legitimate uses as well... is there such a tool somewhere? Thanks for any advice. Public information sharing is key to a forum, but PMs are welcome in this case.
