Hi,

I have a Barracuda 400 in front of iredmail server, I insert this appliance just few days ago.

I see a long queue messages not delivered from Barracuda to Iredmail server.
According to Barracuda support, I try to telnet iredmail server on port 25 from Barracuda itself and I see no response.
But if I try to telnet port 25 from other workstation server mail response OK (220).
And most of all others domains not filtered from barracuda, receive mails correctly.

Maybe Iredmail are blacklisted the Barracuda?
On what basis?
How can troubleshoot this behaviour?
Maybe iredmail need to whitelist the Barracuda?

Thanks in advance...

1: Check iptables rules on iRedMail server: iptables -L -n. Make sure it's not blocked in iptables, caused by Fail2ban.
2: If it's caused by Fail2ban, please bypass it in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local, e.g.

[postfix-iredmail]
...
ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 xx.xx.xx

I'm pretty sure it's not iptables...

I try to bypass Fail2Ban, i insert Barracuda IP address there...

Its written like you suggest :

ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 barracudaipaddrress otheraddress

without comma's or quote?
After refresh i need to restart some services?

Thanks.

Just confirmed that the problem was solved whitelisting barracuda IP in fail2ban service.
The queue on Barracuda system is going to 400 and more "deferred" mail to few mail.

Thanks.
