Sorry for off topic. @David Rankin I tried to reply to your private email but the msg was bounced back twice. Any other way I can reach you? Cheers Michele
Michele,I think I failed at trying to identify and unbocked your IP from my firewall. You are over under RIPE in Italy if I recall. I had that address block blocked at the firewall (for some reason there are a lot of creating hackers in your neck of the woods :(
Can you send me the IP or IP block your mail originate from so I make sure I whitelist you? You can send to drankinatty at gmail.com.
I worked really hard to do make sure the firewall was open for you, the chain is something like mx-eu.mail.am0.yahoodns.net, and then an 76.xxx.xxx.xxx address. Those are now open, but I must have missed where your outbound mail goes through.
I couldn't even send e-mail to you at first until I opened then 188.xxx.xxx.xxx block. Sorry for the goof up, but I was getting hundreds of brute force attempts on my server over the past few months and had to close a bunch of problematic IP block off.
The new attack is a distributed attack through proxies (coordinated though cloud VMs the bad-guys spin up, hack from, and then jump to the next). So the same individual will try and evade IP checkers like fail2ban by sending sequential hack attempts from varying IP addresses at 3-30 minute intervals. One originating from RIPE, one from LATNIC, one from APNIC, one from AFRINIC, etc.. (I'm sure your trinitydesktop.org gets hammered with the same every minute)
Anyway drankinatty at gmail if you can find you originating IP (or the block it usually comes from). I'll make sure I whitelist the entire block for you. Sorry for the troubles, but we have failed (as a society) to prevent the rampant abuse of the internet and good people pay the price in inconvenience and in time managing the crapola...
