SeeYouLater, denying access to spammers with hosts.deny - Cookbook: recipe #215, See you later Setup

recipe #215: See you later Setup

Install the feeder package where you can access the SMTP logs.

Then create the database with the file create-database.sql (in the directory /usr/share/seeyoulater-common/ with the debian packages).

Update the file /etc/seeyoulater.conf.pl, check the database settings and make sure it refers to the correct SMTP logfile.

Configure your SMTP server to add in the logs the IP of spammer with the string ++BAN:IP++.

For instance, if you run Exim and DNSBL denial, you should have a log_message entry as this:

deny message = rejected because $sender_host_address... log_message = found in $dnslist_domain ++BAN:$sender_host_address++ dnslists = sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

Then, install the butcher on the system that got the /etc/hosts.deny you want to be update, update the file /etc/seeyoulater.conf.pl

Et voilà, that should be it.
