Hi, folks.
Last week or so, there were a series of posts about removing a
portsentry-blocked IP address from Sendmail. I had the same problem and
followed the suggestions given:
Edited /etc/hosts.deny and removed the IP address in question
Ran the command "route delete -host [ip address] reject", which appeared to
work (no errors generated)
Added the IP address to portsentry.ignore
Rebooted the server
Now the customer (who caused the problem by pinging a UDP port) can get Web
access but cannot access email (although it works fine from another machine
with a different IP address.)
Is there something like a route table that I can look at to see if the
offending IP address is still there? Or otherwise, does anyone have any
other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Chip
