Stop this drone ??

Finally got postfix working (happy about that). Now I am trying to
tweak it a bit. I keep getting hits from some drone or someone. I can seem to block it ? Is it possible to block this? How ??

Mandrake Linux 10, Postfix version 2.1.0-pre-20040209.

Log file shows
postfix/smtpd[2552]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[222.101.164.186]: 554 <7362543@daum.net>: Relay access denied; from=<love@yahoo.com.au> to=<7362543@daum.net> proto=SMTP

This is repeated all day and all night 24/7. The ip address changes from 222.101. to 222.120 and back and forth.

Thanks for any help.

try an entry into your /etc/tcp.stmp file. This should block the IP from hitting your email server.

file syntax::
This one sez :: HEY LET my localhost have it's mail
This would let the email onto your system, but would reject it and send the 'Listed as SPAMMER' notification to them. This is playing NICE with spammers...
F ' EM ~ This turfs the bast@rds from my system. I got no time to be nice to spammers.


USE xxx.xxx.:deny and rid your system of the infestation...

Thanks for the reply. I checked the file /etc/tcp.smtp and it was not on my system. I made a file and put the ip.:deny command in it, however it is not doing anything. I don't know which service would use this file ? or why I didn't have it to begin with?

What must I do for the file to take affect ?

check this link...It looks like you need to update the tcpserver rules and then reboot ~ how very Redmond, Wa of it
