Evening everyone!

I'm one of those people who knows just enough to be dangerous. That being the case, I know brute_force_notice_ip.sh can be edited, but I'm terrified of using shell. I haven't broken anything with it up to now, but that may well be dumb luck.

For over a year now, brute force notifications have been logged in DirectAdmin messages only, without an email going to my address. I could swear there's a point and click way to shut them off, but it may well be the person I rent the server from hopped in via shell and shut it down for me. Trouble is, I just added a new administrator. Her email address has been getting bombed with BFM alerts.

Is there a way within the control panel to shut that off for her?

Thanks for your time!
 
Hello,

If you wish to prevent notices from being sent out, but still have the IPs blocked, then set this in your directadmin.conf: hide_brute_force_notifications=1

Code:
echo "hide_brute_force_notifications=1" >> /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
service directadmin restart
