Hello Brand new to this list, have used the Fw for a long time w no problems except now after I got a new server, accidently put in the Ver6 along with this one and it seemed to cause a conflict. I removed 6 as I dont have a need for IPV6 right now, and uninstalled shorewall, and reinstalled which helped a great deal, except there seems to be an issue where email is disappearing when the fw is running, effectng only incoming mail. Port scan confirms the rules are working ok and a shorewall check shows no troubles. I am using Ubuntu 14 as the OS with Webmin as the gui. The module it has for shorewall is very buggy, and right now it wont even find shorewall , so I am doing everything on the command prompt. The last thing I did was a purrge command, then another install, and the problem seemed fixed, but its back again.
I do know when the webmin module was working and I was able to stop the fw using that interface, the emails came through ok, but when I went to restart the fw, webmin would hang up because I guess the installation was bad or it was configured to do that. As it is now when I do a shorewall stop command, all the traffic to the server is blocked. I was reading there is a file that is suppose to be configured to stop this from happening, but its not in the specified etc/shorewall directory. Do I need to create it? I also remember that I may have had to reinstall postfix a couple of times before any of this happened, but I believe if the postfix or other mail config was wrong, the mail problem would persist even when the fw is down. So I believe this is shorewall related...its been a frustrating issue for a while now sending out mail then never getting answers when replies never go through. There use to be email bounce messages, but not since the purge. As I write this now, a couple of test emails I sent came through but 9 minutes later. I do have greylisting on, but they came in while I had executed a shorewall clear command...so I am not sure if everything is really ok now, or it was just a coicidence. Argh !
