FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 binary (yeah, I need to update, but my DVD reader is busted).
After seeing an obnoxious spammer on 216.66.15.120 (it doesn't take "550 5.7.1" as a hint), I thought this would be a good time to try tables so that it doesn't clutter my reject log. /etc/pf.conf: table <spammers> persist file "/etc/spammers" ... block in log quick on $ext_if from <spammers> to any /etc/spammers: # netman.cust.fsi.io 216.66.15.120 and restart. File gets read, but it's not blocking. OK, add it in by hand: aneurin# pfctl -t spammers -Tadd 216.66.15.120 No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled 1 table created. 1/1 addresses added. Odd. So the table is now created, but it still ain't blocking. Adding it a second time is ignored. I also tried blocking woodpeckers (those which retry *seconds* later). /etc/pf.conf: table <woodpeckers> persist ... block in log quick on $ext_if from <woodpeckers> # No more that 10/IP, or 5/minute should be plenty. pass inet proto tcp from any port smtp \ flags S/SA keep state \ (max-src-conn 10, max-src-conn-rate 5/60, \ overload <woodpeckers> flush global) Nope. Try by hand: aneurin# pfctl -t woodpeckers -T add 212.192.226.180 No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled 1 table created. 1/1 addresses added. Nope. Nothing in the log, and "pfctl -t woodpeckers -T show -v" reports no matches. As a quick test, I disallow *all* SMTP. Still works. So, err, does PF actually work? Have I stuffed up somewhere?
