Hello all, During last week we had 2 different email accounts compromised and used to send thousands of spams via our mailserver. Users were authentificated via SASL and connections were from many different IPs (different countries), so it looks like some botnet. But both users had 8-chars random password, each IP is limited to only 5 unsuccessfull SASL attempts via fail2ban, so I guess there must be some kind of virus in the wild which is stealing email passwords from users computers... I was thinking about limiting the number of different IPs user is allowed to login from during a timeframe (for example allow SASL from max. 10 IPs during a 60min sliding window). Is there any tool which could do that or I need to write it? Or what other countermeasures do you suggest? BTW, does postfix have a limit of no. of emails sent by sasl user (not by envelope sender), or by sender domain? -- bYE, Marki
