I setup an email server a couple of months ago.

The amount of port scans and brute force attacks I've received this month alone is awful.

JUST SOD OFF ALREADY, PLEASE.

    Build a wall, a firewall! Belive me, nobody builds firewalls like IP tables!

    That's the internet for you. Get used to it.

    @herrybiscuit Not at the moment, postfix is doing quite well at stopping then for the moment (I think) but I need to at some point.

    I'm not a server guy so this is all very new 😛

    @Jamoyjamie Please install Fail2Ban. I myself would have been a victim of a mail bomb and could have prevented it. And monitor your mail queue. If this is very high, someone uses your mail server

    Things like these are why I prefer to use AWS. You don't have to worry about all that, you just do what you got to do, and let them handle the rest.

    @linuxxx I was wondering which Linux distro you prefer for personal use?

    @linuxxx cool, m experimenting with fedora at the moment!

    @yendenikhil I've used fedora for a while myself! Love the system only it uses quite some resources for me :/

    @linuxxx just starting to learn the Linux administration basics (we gotta manage our infra stack ourselves in few months time), interesting and overwhelming!

    I find understanding of concepts is what I need to learn a lot, commands are easy part! (Understanding network interface can be rabbit hole, damn)

    Got more respect of sysadmins and curiosity about Linux (more than just preferred os)

    @yendenikhil What basics are you learning exactly and what concepts do you mean? :D

    In the mean time I'm installing two new vps's on my second dedicated server 😅
