Are there publicly available lists of IP ranges by region?There's no reason for any IP outside of North America to be contacting Postfix on Submission (587) or IMAP, since these are employee only services. If not for mobile phones, we could really close it off. On Thu, 2023-11-16 at 08:27 -0500, Paul Kudla wrote: Good day to all ..... Just adding to the conversation with how I had to deal with this years ago. Basically hacks to any server are an issue today but it is cat & mouse trying to track all of this. That being said using the reported ip address below, I patched postfix to log the ip address in one syslog pass (to id the sasl user account + ip etc) Along with the above dovecot logging is verbose (dovecot already does all access in one line - ie ip address, username (email address) etc) combining the two I run my own ip address firewall tracking system based on the syslogging in real time. For Example : __________________________________________________________________________ # ipinfo 104.156.155.21 IP Status for : 104.156.155.21 IP Status : IPv4 NS Lookup (Forward) : 104.156.155.21 NS Lookup (Reverse) : None IP Blacklisted Status : Found 104.156.155. for 104.156.155.21 [D] {Asterisk} Last Program : sshd Ip Location Info for : 104.156.155.21 No Ip Information Found (ie ip location lookup failed / does not exist for this ip ?) __________________________________________________________________________ basically the ip address block was found in my firewall so something, someone etc has tried to hack one of my servers in the case of scom.ca i run an asterisk server and since the asterisk is noted someone tried hacking that one as well. Basically i run a database that tracks and updates all firewall in real time. Running FreeBSD I use PF and asterisk is linux based so i use the iptables and update every 10 minutes. Only time now a days I get involved if a customer calls and complains they are not getting emails etc ... That happens a few times a year. Again just an FYI This reply was more to indicate all email servers (and anything attached to the internet) really need to run some sort of automated ip firewall when username password hacks occur, no reverse ip address etc etc etc Food for thought.

They scan for TLS vulnerabilities, mostly. Anyone with more information?

i have some rather old IpToCountry.csv files from a now defunct site. it mapped IP allocations to country and included the RIR, date assigned, etc. this data is a few years old as the site was taken down and there is probably a lot of new or updated info. a GeoDB subscription may be useful in the case you are looking at.
