Hi,
  FWIIW I have some scripts that you can download
from my ftp server in the pub/qtp folder. They are
not all documented but they are reasonably simple
scripts that can be understood easily.

goto
ftp.ycs.com.au
cd /pub/qtp

qtp user are welcome to them but please use
anonymous and your email address to login.

  The scripts are "as is" and work for me. They may need
changes to suit your needs.
  If anyone improves on them I would appreciate knowing.

Tony,

Does this append the existing iptable with the offending IP?

I use fail2ban and it works great.  OSSEC HIDS is a good tool too.  I
use them both actually.

Try this at the command line and as root!

This will stop him dead in his tracks.
You can use this command for any ip address that gives
you a problem.

Hi there list,
i have been under heavy traffic since sunday, and its been using all
my inbound connections.
I have a QMT updated box, running the latest spamdyke:
# qtp-whatami
/qtp-whatami v0.3.7 Tue Mar  1 21:14:03 ART 2011
DISTRO=CentOS
OSVER=5.5
QTARCH=x86_64
QTKERN=2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
BUILD_DIST=cnt5064
BUILD_DIR=/usr/src/redhat
This machine's OS is supported and has been tested/


Even though spamdyke does not let the spammers relay the mail, i
still get all the connections used, making it very hard for
authenticated users to send mail.
For now I stopped smtpd, but i wanna see if you guys have some other
thoughts to solve this.

If I see the maillog, i see LOTS of entries like these:

So i guess some botnet is trying to relay mail guessing a specific
domain user's passwords. Most of the attempts are blocked by RBL
checking, but that still create a connection.

As for now smtpd is stopped.
