Re: Block a particular relay host

- block it in iptables firewall?
- blacklist it globally with iRedAdmin-Pro?

Actually, under iRedAdmin-Pro, I have made blacklist entries for those relay host and reverse DNS names, but they are not effective as the relay host is the that corresponds to smtp relay of malicious host while the domain name is different.

Shall it work with Firewalld (CentOS 7.6) ?

Re: Block a particular relay host

Sure you can block them with firewall, it will save more system resource since firewall is the first entry for an email to enter your system.
