Hi,
Does anyone know how to block, or auto programs in Gentoo to limit or
stop people scanning for a user/password hacking on your firewall?
Besides disabling those ports, I still need the port accessable from the
outside, and I guess they'd just try imap if pop was blocked.
I'm running iptables, postfix & courier
Have you considered changing over to pop3-ssl and imap-ssl? I fully
switched over about six years ago and nearly every job I've had since
has used SSL as well. I'd still recommend plain imap to be open on
localhost for webmail to interact with it, but you should have far less
problems. And less change of sniffers pulling user/pass from wireless
connections in cafes.
