hi

I was surprised to find an AbuseIPDB.com report for my server, about a brute force attempt.

Oct 6 11:51:49 localhost postfix/postscreen[661131]: HANGUP after 0 from [159.100.252.217]:57998 in tests before SMTP
handshake Oct 13 13:21:57 localhost postfix/postscreen[1064274]: HANGUP after 0 from [159.100.252.217]:49520 in tests before SMTP handshake ...

I did not find anything indicating a compromise. The report only shows connection closing before the SMTP handshake. (mx.rievo.net 159.100.252.217)

It could be rspamd's MX check triggering these connections based on the three sources documented in rspamd: https://docs.rspamd.com/modules/mx_check/#sources-checked

Could these checks be misclassified as brute force, or should I change my configuration?

regards

phy
