Postfix: Automatic UFW Firewall Updates

If you use a Mail Server with Postfix you got daily Spam Attacks by Scripts:

How to fix?

Install ufw Firewall
Run a Scanner Script as cronjob

On Debian/Ubuntu:

Install ufw:


sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get install ufw &amp;&amp; sudo ufw enable &amp;&amp; sudo  ufw logging off

Scan Script:
sudo nano /home/user/firewall-update.sh:


#!/bin/bash
# scan rejected
cat /var/log/mail.log | grep rejected | cut -d"[" -f3 | cut -d"]" -f1|grep -v '^$' > /tmp/firewall.txt
# insert to Firewall
while read line; do sudo ufw insert 1 deny from $line to any; done &lt; /tmp/firewall.txt
# scan "denied"
cat /var/log/mail.log | grep denied | cut -d"[" -f3 | cut -d"]" -f1|grep -v '^$' > /tmp/firewall2.txt
# insert to Firewall
while read line; do sudo ufw insert 1 deny from $line to any; done &lt; /tmp/firewall2.txt
service ufw restart
exit 0

Remark:

add to root’s crontab run hourly
add lines cat..+ while.. replace rejected by other failed commands login etc..!

Test:


sudo ufw status numbered

Should echo list of banned IP’s! Screenshot of one DAY!
