Thanks guys, fail2ban looks great - config is being a bitch though but i have anvil working now! Jason, when I fire up failt2ban it says "WARNING 'action' not defined in 'postfix'. Using default value" i found some info on http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28781 and followed it through but i got the same error when firing fail2ban up too, the postfix.conf files looks ok - # Fail2Ban configuration file # # Author: Cyril Jaquier # # $Revision: 510 $ # [Definition] # postfix # Option: failregex # Notes.: regex to match the password failures messages in the logfile. The # host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "<HOST>" can # be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for # (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P<host>\S+) # Values: TEXT # #failregex = reject: RCPT from (.*)\[<HOST>\]: 554 failregex = reject: RCPT from (.*)\[<HOST>\]: 5[05][0-4] # Option: ignoreregex # Notes.: regex to ignore. If this regex matches, the line is ignored. # Values: TEXT # ignoreregex = I modded it slightly though - but it does the same weather default or not, any pointers to what i'm doing wrong? "action not defined" would suggest that i've not enabled / configured something correctly but the files look the same as the examples i've seen on the web.
