I'm trying to get better control of my traffic on linux.
I have placed about 100 IP addresses in my hosts.deny file.
I am curious to know which log file I would use to see if any of these
spammer IP's have been blocked.
Thanks,
depends on your linux distro... /var/log/security maybe...
if your looking to block SPAM... /etc/hosts.deny probably
won't do you any good. I don't think that sendmail uses
this... only things that use tcp wrappers use /etc/hosts.allow
and /etc/hosts.deny.
I use iptables to block access to my mail and web ports from
'bad' users.
