Hi,
I have general questions, I am newbie, first time I installed email server.
after installation of redmail, I got already IP address from china and portugal trying to login to my ssh/vps. I will bann it with IP tables but how they know already for my server because I just got it before one or two days and I just installed debian and iredmail?
does authors of iredmail have some code inside that send them IP of new installed iredmail?
I just activated server and it is functional from last night about 11 p.m. and already trying to hack... strange.
here it is below, I got it in my email, is it really trying to hack my ssh or not?
