lfd blocked IP notification email

[justaserverguy]

I am having trouble disabling the email that is sent every time an IP is blocked.

I have tried https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1332

But have had no luck. Any advice?

How can i see if it disabled correctly?

The help file which is pointed to is only for blocks made by DA itself.

The ones you are getting are from CSF itself.

Go to /etc/csf/csf.conf and search for

email_alert =

mind the space. Everywhere where it is set to 1 (there are multiple *_email_alert settings) and you don't want that mail, change it to 0.
When done, save the file and restart csf and lfd.
From SSH it's best done like this:

csf -r
service lfd restart

Thank you! I have made the edits and restarted! All those notifications were driving me crazy.

You're welcome.
Yep, I put out most myself, were driving me crazy too.
I just kept the notifications about ssh logins, su commands, console and connection tracking.
