Subject: [Fail2ban-users] need help with filterd/postfix.conf
I am tired of the spam
I need to add a line to ban a word in the machine name in my
filter.d/postfix.conf
Log entry
May 4 08:20:37 mail postfix/smtpd[9592]: connect from
mail-a.webstudioseventyeight.com[170.130.69.8]
I am trying this
mdpr-normal =^connect from
([a-z-0-9]*\.webstudio[A-Z-0-9]*\w+\.com)[<HOST>]
Hello Doug,
I am no expert in Fail2Ban, and have not used it with Postfix, but
until somebody with better information joins in, perhaps I might be
able to nudge you towards your goal.
As I have hinted, I could be wrong, but ...
- the caret "^" indicates the start of a line. There is a date and
time before the "connect from", so perhaps there should be no caret.
- the range "[a-z]" is not the same as the range "[A-Z]", so perhaps
the second instance should be in lower case, like the first, but
perhaps it would be better to use "[[:alnum:]-]" to catch upper-case
and lower-case letters, and digits, and the hyphen
- I do not know that the "\w+" is necessary.
Taken together, that would give an expression like:-
mdpr-normal = connect from
([[:alnum:]-]+\.webstudio[[:alnum:]-]+\.com)[<HOST>]
I hope that this helps until better advice is provided.
Good luck,
I copied the entries from maillog as follows
connect from mail-a.webstudioeightytwo.com[144.172.84.92]
connect from mail-a.webstudioeighty.com[107.175.41.64]
I tried it, still not matching when I try
fail2ban-regex /home/dlpreston/mylog.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/postfix.conf
I get
Running tests
=============
Use failregex filter file : postfix, basedir: /etc/fail2ban
Use datepattern : Default Detectors
Use log file : /home/mydir/mylog.log
Use encoding : UTF-8
