IP drop list

2015-02-28 Thread Jim Pazarena
I wonder if there is an easy way to provide dovecot a flat text file of 
ipv4 #'s which should be ignored or dropped?


I have accumulated 45,000+ IPs which routinely try dictionary and 
12345678 password attempts. The file is too big to create firewall 
drops, and I don't want to compile with wrappers *if* dovecot has an 
easy ability to do this. If dovecot could parse a flat text file of IPs 
and drop connections it would sure put a dent in these attempts.


Thanks.

software changes.


Pros of Mdbox:
* uses less files, meaning MUCH faster backup, faster fsck
* you can use ALT storage, namely saving certain folders on a 
faster/slower storage (e.g. Inbox on fast RAID and rest on slower RAID)

* you can compress it, making it even faster (zlib and so on)
* uses much less I/O-operations compared to Maildir

Cons:
* you need to use the doveadm-toolchain, so you need to learn it; no 
longer mingling with emails on file system level anymore!

* you need a snapshot for a consistent backup
* if you lose the index file, all information on folders/mails is lost


SOLR 5

2015-02-28 Thread Robert Gierzinger

Hello,

I just wanted to give SOLR 5 a try, however there probably have changed 
quite some bits in the config files, did not even manage to create a 
core with various solrconfig.xml and schema.xml files, but I am 
absolutely no expert in solr.
Has anybody given it a try or are there some tips on how to get it 
running?


regards,
Robert
