Re: Question about blocking IP's

Hmm I'm confused.

What should I do? I don't want to disable portsentry because it stops
the portscanners even though there is possibility that it could be used
against me.

I understand I had better to close the 143 port. I have no use for
IMAP. How can I close this port?

Okay, I know - since we are talking about newsgroups - next reply to my
post is going to be a slap on my face.
But as I told you I'm a newbie asking for stupid questions.
