hi can i know code below is ? how to set to prevent different ip attack?
i alreadly has csf but block ip is useless , because their hack use many different ip to hack .. so block also no use


smtp_accept_max_per_host = 10
smtp_accept_max_per_connection = 20
smtp_accept_queue = 70
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 10
smtp_accept_reserve = 21
...
...
...
remote_max_parallel = 10


thanks

I don't know what you mean.... but I guess you are asking how to use those lines, that I posted earlier. So you should modify them (you might already have those lines in /etc/exim.conf with another values), or add them into /etc/exim.conf if you have nothing of them or partly. Anywhere it would be better to hire somebody or at least Google for more information on how to tune exim and how to set the config with those directives.

hi actually you understand my question?
now i just now to want how to set to block attacking or can block the select email only
because if off exim will cause other client cannot use email
thans
 
disable domain then...... and use the lines I've given you to decrease the load on your server...
 
I have tons every day, although 99% of attacks just use the usernames and not [email protected] (which, DA/etc is configured to accept by default), unless they know what domains are hosted.

Just my thought. Yes, attacks are a pain, but if I'm right, it's not as bad.
