Are there publicly available lists of IP ranges by region?

There's no reason for any IP outside of North America to be contacting Postfix
on Submission (587) or IMAP, since these are employee only services.

If not for mobile phones, we could really close it off.

     Good day to all .....

     Just adding to the conversation with how I had to deal with this
     years ago.

     Basically hacks to any server are an issue today but it is cat &
     mouse
     trying to track all of this.

     That being said using the reported ip address below, I patched
     postfix
     to log the ip address in one syslog pass (to id the sasl user account
     +
     ip etc)

     Along with the above dovecot logging is verbose (dovecot already does

     all access in one line - ie ip address, username (email address) etc)

     combining the two I run my own ip address firewall tracking system
     based
     on the syslogging in real time.

     For Example :

     __________________________________________________________________________

     # ipinfo 104.156.155.21

     IP Status for                   : 104.156.155.21

     IP Status : IPv4
     NS Lookup (Forward)             : 104.156.155.21
     NS Lookup (Reverse)             : None

     IP Blacklisted Status           : Found 104.156.155. for
     104.156.155.21
     [D] {Asterisk}
     Last Program                    : sshd

     Ip Location Info for            : 104.156.155.21

     No Ip Information Found

     (ie ip location lookup failed / does not exist for this ip ?)

     __________________________________________________________________________

     basically the ip address block was found in my firewall so something,

     someone etc has tried to hack one of my servers

     in the case of scom.ca i run an asterisk server and since the
     asterisk
     is noted someone tried hacking that one as well.

     Basically i run a database that tracks and updates all firewall in
     real
     time.

     Running FreeBSD I use PF and asterisk is linux based so i use the
     iptables and update every 10 minutes.

     Only time now a days I get involved if a customer calls and complains

     they are not getting emails etc ...

     That happens a few times a year.

     Again just an FYI

     This reply was more to indicate all email servers (and anything
     attached
     to the internet) really need to run some sort of automated ip
     firewall
     when username password hacks occur, no reverse ip address etc etc etc


     Food for thought.


     Have A Happy Thursday !!!

                Might want to make up your own mind, or maybe someone

          it warranted
                posting
                on the list.

                Not sure yet if it is Dovecot, or the SSL libraries
          they are
                attempting
                to break, but using a variety of SSL/TLS methods and
          connections...

          They are not interested in dovecot per se.  They scan for
          TLS vulnerabilities,
          mostly.

                Anyone with more information?

          See also shadowserver.org, census.io, stretchoid, etc. All
          of them allegedly
          reputable, all of them supposedly with opt-out mechanisms,
          and all of them are
          blocked for not asking permission.


          Ymmv.
