Banning AUTH Connections with Blank Login

Post author By Roller Network
Post date February 25, 2011

We’ve started banning connections by IP address into our SMTP AUTH service that are making excessive connection requests with blank login names. This came about after we noticed multiple IP addresses flooding our server by attempting to connect once a second without ever attempting to send a login name. We consider this abusive as it wastes server resources that can be used to process legitimate connections.

A source search function has been added. Entering a search term will limit the displayed maps to those matching the search term.
Email address and mail box forwarding types are now displayed intermixed; previously they were grouped by type and sorted separately.

Eaton will be on site on Wednesday, February 23 at 08:30 local time to perform the annual inspection on our UPS system. No potentially intrusive actions will be taken. If any corrective maintenance is deemed necessary during the inspection, it will be deferred until an appropriate time.

UPDATE: The annual inspection was completed without any noted issues. All battery strings passed load testing.

We’re now including the serial console option for free on our dedicated servers. Previously this option was an additional $10, but we decided to just include it as a value added service rather than charge extra for it.

The serial console option allows access to BOIS and pre-boot settings, and in conjunction with a switched outlet (also included at no extra cost), provides a comprehensive suite of remote management options.

This Saturday, February 12, we will be upgrading our installation of Roundcube to version 0.5.1. In the past, Roundcube updates usually resulted in something breaking. We have done our best to test everything we were aware of from past upgrades, but if there are problems with this update, please let us know and we will attempt to correct them as quickly as possible.

If you would like to try it early go to: https://webmail.rollernet.us/roundcubemail-0.5.1-dep/

UPDATE: Roundcube 0.5.1 has been released on our webmail server. If you need to access the old version due to an uncaught bug, please report the bug to us and use https://webmail.rollernet.us/roundcube-old for the previous version.
