dear list
with iptables, I have been able to stop the e-mail flooding attacking a
specific user, see previous post [BlueOnyx:19698] Re: e-mail flooding
But that user is still sending out tons of mails if I enable it again
(unchecking «Suspend» in the GUI), thousands in a couple of hours with
subjects like:
Subject: Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours
Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details
That user must have some virus and I'm afraid that my server will be
tagged...
I read that I could prevent user from sending e-mail by adding these
lines to /etc/mail/access
From:janis at legler.org REJECT # Reject user from sending mails
and restarting sendmail. But /etc/mail/access is pretty much empty:
--------------------------------------------
# By default we allow relaying from localhost...
Connect:localhost.localdomain RELAY
Connect:localhost RELAY
Connect:127.0.0.1 RELAY
# Cobalt Access Section Begin
# Cobalt Access Section End
/etc/mail/access lines 1-15/15 (END)
--------------------------------------------
Can I do so as said above without compromising the mailer?
Thank you and best regards
