Hi,
Our mail server was under DOS attack, and I was trying to stop the new
connections using /etc/hosts.allow but I couldn't do it.
The entry in /etc/hosts.allow:
sendmail : xx.xx.xx.xx : DENY
and I even tried:
ALL : ALL : DENY
but still doesn't work, I installed sendmail from the port, and I also
checked tcpwrapper support:
---------------------------------------------------
# sendmail -d0.1
Version 8.12.1
Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING
SCANF TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG
---------------------------------------------------
The /etc/mailer.conf also points to the port version.
Any ideas on why it doesn't work!!
P.S. I just added an entry on /etc/mail/access to reject emails from
that IP but sendmail still need to fork.
Thanks,
- rayed
