Filtering SMTP abuse?
Posted: 02 Apr 2019, 16:32
Hello,
Lately I'm seeing a lot of incoming SMTP traffic, which is rejected by EXIM.
Example:
I've set CONNLIMIT but it doesn't seem to have any result. The setting is as follows:
EXIM is dropping connections, because I set 20 as max connections, but I have no idea why CSF is not blocking them.
Any hints on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you,
Razva
