Mail Server Configuration Changes

     I have made several changes to mail server configurations and DNS that should reduce spam and viruses.

  • No mail will be accepted to user@mail.eskimo.com via any of the mail servers.
  • SPF records are now published for mail.eskimo.com.  This should prevent forgeries since SPF records are checked on all of our servers.
  • The issue which prevented the clamav anti-virus database from being updated has been repaired.
  • Fail2ban was not starting on mail allowing that machine to be used for brute force password guessing attacks.  This has been fixed.
