Hello,

We have a disgruntled customer that specifically created an email address to subscribe it to spam lists/newsletters and then they set up that email address to forward all emails to one of our support emails, creating a large amount of spam that can't really be blocked by traditional means. The original senders are, more or less, legitimate and mostly legitimate newsletters, so I wouldn't...

Having the instant IP block is an awesome feature and we use it frequently for repeat offenders. But these days so many spammers are sending from multiple IPs from a single CIDR 24 block. It would be so cool to have two options to click to block. One like the current single IP block, and a second one right next to it that blocks the entire range, ie NN.NN.NN.0/24. We do this manually at times but...

Hi there

A new server with Cloudlinux installed, Installed CFS, but all messages are logged to the console, making the console unusable.

I have no idea what setting needs to be done for this to stop. Any help is appreciated, as I am sure I am not the only one. This was presented before here: (but no fix was provided)

screen looks like this:

Instructions I think how to block tor in /etc/csf/csf.blocklists by uncommenting this line (remove the #):
#TOR|86400|0|
and in /etc/csf/csf.conf make sure URLGET is set to use LWP then restart the firewall

We leave the ip=1.2.3.4 and don't change it to our server ip address?

I've bunch of ips / networks added to csf.deny

csf.deny
1.1.0.0/19 # do not delete

However i want to allow 1.1.1.1 on port 80 and 443 with csf.allow

csf.allow
tcp|in|d=80|s=1.1.1.1
tcp|in|d=443|s=1.1.1.1

or

csf.allow
1.1.1.1

Allow rules above is not working.

- If i add IP adress to both csf.allow and csf.ignore it works but opens all ports which i don't want to
- Adding...

Does this error indicate a Zone file error? If so, what is the best way to correct it?
*ERROR* line:
Command:

This network is found in /var/lib/csf/Geo/ip2asn-combined.tsv & /var/lib/csf/zone/us.zone

Dear all,

I am using block_all_temp profile to temporarily block the IPs attempting a brute force attack. using this profile, it only allows me to block the IPs for 1 hour aftr this the IPs get unblocked. i want to customize this time to 5 min for example. so that, any IP trying brute force attack will be blocked for 5 minutes only. help will be grateful.

Hi there,

With the High Load template for instance, there are set variables which don't seem to be documented.

This includes , , , , and however there doesn't seem to be a way to tweak them. For instance, we'd like to amend how ps is invoked (and likely include a 2nd copy of it, sorted differently), include iostat/sar reports and others.

How does one go about amending what the above variables...

Hello,

Having too many data in /etc/csf/csf.deny makes it impossible to edit the file in a web-interface of Directadmin.
It is a built-in limit in DirectAdmin when a loading variable 'POST' is limited to hard-coded 125749 bytes. Whenever a 'POST' request of a bigger size arrives it gets rejected by DirectAdmin and no changes are actually saved.

In Directadmin logs one can see a line of the...

Hi,

I've noticed that the cPanel disk usage emails sent to hosted clients were all marked as low spam.

The emails were sent from cpanel@local-domain-name with a client IP of 127.0.0.1 and tripped the KAM_MAILBOX2 rule with a score of 6.25.

The KAM_MAILBOX2 rule relates to Mailbox Quota Phishing Scams.

How do I stop internal cpanel emails from triggering this rule while keeping the score as...

Hello, I have been using Configserver on WHM/Cpanel on CentOS for years and recently moved to a new server with WHM/Cpanel on CentOS.

The file csf.conf keeps getting overwritten with what appears to be a default configuration. I make changes and safe via the UI in WHM/CPanel or I make changes via SSH and Emacs. Either way, after some time the file is replaced with a 'default' csf.conf that...

Hello everyone,

After googling for some time and not finding anything on this problem I'm asking here for some help.

I've setup remote logging for rsyslog on debian 11 and when CSF / LFD ist enabled, I get the following error for rsyslog:

I cannot reproduce this on any other servers, but am not sure where to go with this. LFD is detecting brute forces fine and logs that it is blocking the IP:
