Hi all,
I just released the AV-SPAM v7.2.9-1 for BlueOnyx 5209R, 5210R and 5211R.
Aside from some bugfixes related to possible inability to
create/modify/delete users (if GeoIP is disabled), this also contains a
major update of Milter-GeoIP itself.
Milter-GeoIP:
==============
This milter can monitor email traffic volume and can alert if users or
vsites are sending more emails than allowed.
Besides that principal function it can also block SMTP connections if
the sender is from a blacklisted country or blacklisted IP or IP address
range.
For that purpose it used the free MaxMind GeoIP database, which by now
is pretty ancient, anecdotal and outdated.
So I just witched this to use the IP Address ranges from the free
ipdeny.com database as we have also already done for the GeoIP
functionality in the Firewalld Package.
GeoIP itself (and the free MaxMind GeoIP database) are still used, but
only as a fallback.
Additionally:
==============
The following ISP has now made it onto our permanent shit-list until
hell freezes over:
UAB Host Baltic
Kaunas, Lithuania

Their IP address ranges:

For the last 3-4 months these fuckers have been HAMMERING servers under
our management in various geographical locations. During troubleshooting
we've also seen them attack severs of our clients in various locations,
so this isn't just isolated or specifically aimed against us.
The attacks have been relentless, without interruption, from various
different IP address ranges under their management against a wide array
of different servers.
They're doing absolutely ZERO against it and it even seems to be their
prime business model to host shady individuals and organizations to run
attacks against anyone they please. Their support email seems to be a
blackhole, the ticket system for reporting issues either doesn't exist
or is for clients only and phones redirect to voicemail, even during
their alleged business hours.
Therefore Milter-GeoIP will now (if enabled and if "Block Blacklist
entirely" is enabled) automatically block ANY SMTP request from any IP
address associated with that particular ISP:
