Title: Blocking IPs with iptables
Post by: Gary Neil on July 30, 2003, 07:01:31 AM

I have been trying to block email form a block of ip addresses.
I'm using e-Smith 5.6

I used the command
iptables -A INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -j DROP

when I run  iptables -L INPUT
it shows
DROP  all  --  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24  anywhere

Yet email from blocked ips keeps getting through.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Maybe you want to write another line with DENY in it ?
