Hello everyone,
Because of the MASS failure tries to connect to my server using random passwords
I decided to allow only my IP to access the server.
I didnot do this before cuz i was worried this restriction will effect any services running..
a question:
If i change hosts.allow to accept only my ip adrs and next line is ALL : ALL : deny
is this will effect any performance? such as webmail, smtp or other connections/services?
After fixing those lines, I used the webMail to send mail, then an SMTP error came saying
(access denied) hmm any hint?
Example (The IP is an Example): ALL : 192.168.0. : allow ALL : ALL : deny
One more stupid question. If i want to allow a whole class of ips, shall i write as ALL : 192.168.0.* : allow (using the star) OR ALL : 192.168.0. : allow (leave it empty)
Thanks for the help. Marwan.
