Re: csf sending invalid emails from root

Nope. I'm still getting these unnecessary notices, and sent to an invalid address. Is there a way to submit a bug ticket? Frustrated!

Re: csf sending invalid emails from root

I think the answer is to select WHM > Plugins > ConfigServer Security & Firewall > Firewall Configuration, and make the following changes: 1. LF_ALERT_TO=EmailAddressForNotices 2. LF_EMAIL_ALERT=NO (no alert on IP blocks) 3. LF_CPANEL_ALERT=NO (no alert on normal cPanel usage) You must then go t...

csf sending invalid emails from root

I find CSF very difficult to understand, perhaps because it is so low-level in its configuration. I am getting an email message for every malicious intrusion to my web server, and each message is sent to an invalid address, in spite of editing file /etc/csf/csf.pignore !

Re: Block probers

Silent, how do I use the cPanel interface to set these up?

Also, is there any way to block everyone with a .ru reverse address? These are mostly the malicious folks, as judged by their access attempts.

Re: Cannot understand lfd error message from system

martinp , thanks for the pointer. My guess is that my PHP tool that I run under cron sometimes hangs because the remote server is hanging while attempting to deliver the desired file. My further guess is that this happens because the Internet is so complex that sometimes it has to keep trying, inst...

Cannot understand lfd error message from system

Can anyone explain exactly what situations cause this message? Has the CRON process been killed or not? What should I do in response to this message? I am not familiar with Linux. Remote server: Centos with CPanel and WHM Local email client: Thunderbird on Windows 8 I deleted many small parts of the...
