[Solved] My VPS is high (on load) again

Recommended Posts

I went to the web.conf file and when editing it, I noticed that mail.stockdiv.com alias was already there. I checked vesta panel and it was also there. Not sure how.

At this point, I went to this site https://www.checktls.com/TestReceiver (entered both stockdiv.com and mail.stockdiv.com) and it looks worse than before, now there are 3 failures, not just one as before, including TLS itself (+cert + secure). Previously, only cert was failing. Can you please take a look at this?

Thanks

I followed these steps https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php?t=14331 and I'm now back in step 1 where only cert fails

I did notice that under  /etc/exim4/domains/ there is only stockdiv.com, not sure if mail.stockdiv.com should also be there

I do see a lot of these in exim mainlog: dovecot_login authenticator failed for (stockdiv.com) [ip, not mine]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=<name varies>@stockdiv.com) -> is it someone who is trying to (ab)use my server?

 

I continued with the steps and reached here: Now go to your EXIM.conf, probably located in /etc/exim/exim.conf... Where can I find exim? It's not under etc... I did see exim4 under etc but there is no exim.conf file there. sudo find . -name "exim*.conf" found several occurrences but none seem to be an exim folder.

 

I've found update-exim4.conf.conf but it doesn't seem to have what the guide says.

 

Also, in vestacp -> mail section -> domain it says stockdiv.com (disabled for editing). Should it also be mail.stockdiv.com?

Bots trying to brute force their way into your server using random email addresses is very common.

 

You had http to your .well-known directory blocked with .htaccess so new ssl certificates couldn't be installed. I edited your https redirect and added an exception for the .well-known directory. This allowed me to issue a new lets encrypt certificate that covered mail.stockdiv.com in addition to stockdiv.com. Then I edited the exim configuration to use the new ssl certificate and restarted exim. This tester looks happy now https://www.checktls.com/TestReceiver

That's what happens when someone who understands what he is doing is doing things - things get resolve quickly and professionally - thanks a lot, I emailed someone, waiting for his response to make sure it works.

 

One last thing - www.stockdiv.com does not work because of the new certificate thing.

I'm at work so I can't upload images, when I'm home I will upload both images from my mobile and my browser.

The browser is actually my antivirus (bitdefender) who is warning me.

 

This didn't happen before the latest changes Krydos did but I'm glad to know it's not a general issue. Maybe it needs time to propagate.

Thanks, email sent.

 

This is what I get from bitdefender (computer) and from the rest client (mobile)

I did the following using ssh

$ exim -v ...@gmail.com
from: support@stockdiv.com
subject: testing gmail
this is a test, did you receive it?
LOG: MAIN
  <= amoss@mail.stockdiv.com U=amoss P=local S=362
