similar to: Spam, fail2ban and centos

I have been using centos 6 in a virtualized system for a few months now. Took a while to batten down the hatches with postfix, rbls, and to use fail2ban correctly. The mailserver for my website(s) are located on the http server as well..an 'all in one' server. DNS servers are separated. My two sites, and their emails addresses (1 for each) have been around for 10 and 15 years

Many of you are interested in and have used or recommended fail2ban for your linux boxes. I finally installed it on our FreeBSD server (no asterisk, hence the OT) with the help of a friend from the VoIP Users Conference and Asterisk community. After a lot of new learning about regex, I extended the actions and filters to look at our mail server, plagued by spammers - who isn't? Our server has

I got the fail2ban from epel. There were a number of issues relating to using a log file... logwatch was looking for both fail2ban and fail2ban.log logrotate file fail2ban added looked for fail2ban.log and then reset itself to syslog fail2ban itself went to syslog, over riding its fail2ban.log. took a while, but I use /var/log/fail2ban now, that finally worked through logrotates and logwatch.

Copy dovecot-pop3imap.conf to dovecot-pop3imap.local.? Edit dovecot-pop3imap.local and add to the failregex: dovecot:.+auth failed.+rip=<HOST> Then run: fail2ban-regex /var/log/dovecot.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/dovecot-pop3imap.local and see if you get any matches.

Hi hoping someone can help me a little with this one. I have 2 mail servers, the incoming mail server runs dovecot and the outgoing mail server runs postfix with sasl. Lately I noticed a lot of spammers are running dictionary attacks on my incoming server and then using that user/password for sasl on the outgoing server. The weird thing is I never see on the logs the guessed

Hi, I been using dovecot for awhile and its been solid, however I been having some issues with dictionary attacks. I installed fail2ban and for the most part is working fine. However today I got another spammer relaying through my server. Looking at the logs I see the following dictonary attack from 94.242.206.37 Nov 10 03:04:38 pop dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=94.242.206.37,

I have fail2ban on my mail server monitoring Dovecot and Exim. I have noticed that it has stopped banning IP's. I have seen in /var/log/fail2ban.log: 2020-04-07 09:42:05,875 fail2ban.filter [16138]: INFO [dovecot] Found 77.40.61.224 - 2020-04-07 09:42:05 2020-04-07 09:42:06,408 fail2ban.actions [16138]: NOTICE [dovecot] Ban 77.40.61.224 2020-04-07 09:42:06,981

I'm trying to setup and test fail2ban with dovecot I've installed fail2ban, I've copied config from https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/Fail2Ban, and, trying to test it, attempted multiple mail access with wrong password, but, get this: # fail2ban-client status dovecot-pop3imap Status for the jail: dovecot-pop3imap |- Filter | |- Currently failed: 0 | |- Total failed: 0 | `- File

I created a filter and verified it with fail2ban-regex against actual lines in my log and it works. During restarts of fail2ban, only some previous ip's get banned immediately whereas some need a reoccurrence despite the jail's config specification of maxretry and findtime suggesting the entries mandate blocking. I'd assume the behavior after a restart is noe way if it weren't for

Hello list. I have a question for fail2ban for bad logins on sasl. I use sasl, sendmail and cyrus-imapd. In jail.conf I use the following syntax: [sasl-iptables] enabled = true filter = sasl backend = polling action = iptables[name=sasl, port=smtp, protocol=tcp] sendmail-whois[name=sasl, dest=my at email] logpath = /var/log/maillog maxretry = 6 and the following filter:
