Description

Currently I get a lot of login requests to my mailcow instance from a certain subnet, which is why the netfilter container does a lot of bans and unbans. I have noticed that after a certain time (about 3 to 5 days) netfilter no longer unbans the IPs and they remain permanently banned, so to speak. Here is an example for the IP 194.169.175.10:

netfilter-mailcow-1  | Banning 194.169.175.10/32 for 166 minutes
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Unbanning 194.169.175.10/32
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Banning 194.169.175.10/32 for 166 minutes
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Unbanning 194.169.175.10/32
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Banning 194.169.175.10/32 for 166 minutes
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Unbanning 194.169.175.10/32
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Banning 194.169.175.10/32 for 166 minutes
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Unbanning 194.169.175.10/32
netfilter-mailcow-1  | Banning 194.169.175.10/32 for 166 minutes

In the mailcow GUI, the IPs are displayed with a negative ban time:

grafik

I have not changed anything in the netfilter settings, so they are default. Restarting the netfilter container usually helps to unblock the IP addresses again.

The following issue describes similar symptoms: #5518

I cannot find your ticket number. Are you sure it's correct?

I assume, you’re a TINC employee/contractor with access to the servercow.de ticketing system?

Those are my two reports of the issue:

If you get a lot of login requests with malicious attempt I would use sg. else than that builtin script. It's really not efficient. Do you have any firewall solutions before your server? Or are you familiar with the "real" fail2ban project? https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban

Yes, I'm familiar with the real fail2ban project, but I guess having two systems is one too many? Is there a tutorial on how to install an external fail2ban solution? I didn't find anything in the docs...

By the way: Why does mailcow use a self-scripted fail2ban solution at all?

Why does mailcow use a self-scripted fail2ban solution at all?

When I wrote the initial version of this script (it has changed a lot since then) in 2017, the "real" fail2ban did not support IPv6 and couldn't read logs from Docker. I'm pretty sure it supports IPv6 nowadays, but I'm not sure it can handle any of Docker's log drivers other than the (non-default) systemd log.

I have the same issue, although I've changed default fail2ban parameters strongly:
Ban time (s): 86400 (24h)
Max. ban time (s): 604800 (one week)
Ban time is incremented with each ban: true
Max. attempts: 5
Retry window (s) for max. attempts: 86400

Example lines (IPs changed):
152.4.204.217/32 (-493h -35m -40s) - [unban] [whitelist] [blacklist (needs restart)]
81.14.65.107/32 (-495h -11m -19s) - [unban] [whitelist] [blacklist (needs restart)]
94.18.180.171/32 (-465h -43m -10s) - [unban] [whitelist] [blacklist (needs restart)]

I've left it running for a few weeks without restarting and eventually it hanged with the last line visible:
Error reading log line from pubsub: 'max_attempts'

Running into a similar issue.
I've used a third party VPN and tried to force brute for testing and netfilter is not logging in the fail attempts making it harder to create alerts on a SIEM and use SOAR to automate my firewall to have the IP/Subnet blocked.

@kovacs-andras We need to have logging with attempt fails to begin with if we want to be able to use a third-party that can facilitate this service if fail2ban does not work. How are you checking logs and automating today for failed login attempts? Do you recommend a specific log source to ingest login events that we can use to not solely rely on fail2ban/netfilter? Thanks in advance!

I started noticing right after the latest release (2024-6a), so I can't tell when this has been occurring.

The entire machine has been restarted and re-tested with the same issue. Everything else is working as expected.

The only difference in my environment is that IPv6 was completely removed following the official doc.

Hi!
5 days ago I migrated my mailcow VM to a new physical host. Migration was done by offline Backup/Restore. The day before I update to 2024-6a. Can't tell what solved it, but since then IP addresses get unbanned as expected.

On the new host several things changed from my previous setup:

  • Proxmox Version 6.4 -> 8.2
  • Proxmox Storage ZFS -> LVM-Thin (both hosts have hardware RAID controllers – ZFS was not a wise decision back then)
  • RAID 6 -> 10
  • CPU @ 1.70GHz -> @ 2.60GHz

Just want to share this. Maybe it help somebody...

Watch out for whether this occurs only occasionally after a while – like it does for us.

You're right. It was too early to celebrate. The phenomenon still exists for me too...

We have same kind of symptom. When click on unban button, the frontend show unban pending but IP never unban.

I need to execute command like this docker exec netfilter-mailcow-1 iptables -D MAILCOW -s x.x.x.x/32 -j DROP to solve the problem.

Does restarting the netfilter container not work for you?
Does your command actually resolve the problem or just get the specified rule off the list?

I not like restart netfilter container because in this cas, all banned address are unban.
My command just unban IP but not solved the problem for the next ban.

Today again. One IP ban, normally automatically unban after 30min but stay ban after 4h. When clicking on unban button, unban attempt stay visible and nothing append. I need to execute my command on server directly :(

I don't know if it is a reason but I seen today that banned IP is visible two time

Do you have an idea why two entry with same ip address, and if this can block unban ?
