I'm continuing to whittle down the false positives from my particular prelude setup. Right now I'm running into an issue with prelude-correlator and postfix/prelude-lml Events like the following (probably a spam-bot in this case) in the maillog are correctly being caught by prelude-lml and put into the prelude database Jan 16 08:32:44 mail postfix/smtpd[28030]: lost connection after RCPT from foo.bar.net[10.10.10.10] Text | Severity | Completion | Type | Description Mail server suspicious access | low | failed | other | Lost connection from 10.10.10.10 after RCPT action The trouble is that this log is also tripping prelude-correlator's firewall rule #2 -- Firewall correlation (2 of 2) -- This rule begins a timer for every event that contains a source and a target -- address which has not been matched by an observed packet denial. If a packet -- denial is not observed in the next 10 seconds, an event alert is generated. And of course, since postfix has to receive connections from outside to receive email, there is no corresponding firewall drop event. So, keeping in mind that I don't speak lua, how can I get prelude-correlator to skip correlating certain events that I know will be tripped by other sensors, but will not have a corresponding firewall drop event?
