hi fans...
i hv one doubt in POP3 access...
scenario: server IP---> 192.168.0.6
client IP------>192.168.0.7

now the ques is Configure POP such dat only USER1 from some doamin say "linux.com [192.168.0.Y]" should recieve the mail through it & block from "hacker.org [192.168.1.X]"


so i can go to this ques in 2ways either by TCP_WRAPPERS or IPTABLES

using iptables i say
#iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.X -d 192.168.0.6 -p tcp --dport 110 -j REJECT
i save the rules...
#service iptables restart
#chkconfig iptables on

well 'll it block "hacker.org"

by tcp_wrappers method i edit d file /etc/hosts.deny
& type

pop3: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

will this work ???
actually tcp_wrappers does not calls "libwrap.so" when v use POP3 protocols i think !!!!
what say...

please help !!

As far as I know the first argument is the actual name of the binary (argv[0]) and not the protocol name: if this daemon is run from Xinetd look in /etc/xinetd.d/. The network range argument can be cut down to just the first three octets ending with a dot: "192.168.1.". If you need to add more ranges just comma+space separate them.

Xinetd does.
