Description
The GeoIP plugin for qpsmtpd lets you know where your mail server is receiving mail from. If you're receiving too much spam from a particular location, this will help track it down. You can then use that info to reject connections from that place taking the load off your server.
Installation of legacy geoip v1 db
those are still available for few time only for back compatibility purpose and to avoid a yum update mess, or if you do not trust third party repo, but be aware thos db are not updated anymore since April 2018 and were already only 80% accurate then.
yum install smeserver-geoip --enablerepo=smecontribs config set UnsavedChanges no signal-event geoip-update
update of geoip v1 db
if you have smeserver-geoip-1.1.2-7 already installed, this will keep you on the legacy version, only change new plugin comaptible with v1 and removal of cron update.
yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs
Installation and Updating of geoip v2 db
Because the databases have been updated new perl modules are required to support GeoIP v2. The core modules have a large number of dependencies and we have decided that it is not practical for the Koozali team to maintain them all.
As a result you will now need the OpenFusion repo to install smeserver-geoip We will be syncing their mirror in due course to speed up installs and updates.
yum --enablerepo=smeaddons install smeserver-extrarepositories-openfusion signal-event yum-modify config set UnsavedChanges no
Updating to v2 with v1 DBs installed
If you have the v1 DBs package smeserver-geoip-1.1.2-7 already installed and do not wish to update to v2 DBs you may perform updates safely, after making sure your smeserver-extrarepositories-openfusion is the latest, the following:
To carry out an install or update of the new v2 DBs you are required to firstly remove the exclude statement from the openfusion repo db
db yum_repositories delprop openfusion Exclude signal-event yum-modify
Then remove the smeserver-geoip v1 db package
yum remove smeserver-geoip
You may then go ahead with the following to either install or update a v2 DB package
yum install smeserver-geoip2 --enablerepo=smecontribs,openfusion yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs,openfusion config set UnsavedChanges no
Fresh Installation of geoip v2 DBs
To carry out an install or update of the new v2 DBs you are required to firstly remove the exclude statement from the openfusion repo db
db yum_repositories delprop openfusion Exclude signal-event yum-modify
You may then go ahead with the following to either install or update a v2 DB package
yum install smeserver-geoip2 --enablerepo=smecontribs,openfusion yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs,openfusion config set UnsavedChanges no
I installed the beta versions of smeserver-geoip v2
if you installed smeserver-geoip-1.2-1, smeserver-geoip-1.2-2, smeserver-geoip-1.2-3, then you have already a v2, but you still need to do as you were with legacy version and want to upgrade to v2. Otherwise you will not have the db updated anymore
db yum_repositories delprop openfusion Exclude signal-event yum-modify
Then remove the smeserver-geoip v1 db package
yum remove smeserver-geoip
You may then go ahead with the following to either install or update a v2 DB package
yum install smeserver-geoip2 --enablerepo=smecontribs,openfusion yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs,openfusion config set UnsavedChanges no
Update the db
(only working for geoip2 from 2019/01/03)
signal-event geoip-update
or if you prefer to reboot your server
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Updating the geoip database is performed by issuing the following command:
signal-event geoip-update
This contrib adds a template to /etc/crontab to automatically update the database once a month. It's set to do so at midnight on the 5th of each month. If you have a paid subscription through the maintainer of this database (http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoipupdate/) you can update more often. If you do want to update more often, you will have to create a custom template to handle the change. In addition, you will be supplied login credentials that have to be inserted into the file /etc/GeoIP.conf for the update to complete. The file is not templated so it will survive reboots. Use your favorite text editor to insert the information into this file.
More info on openfusion repo config
The openfusion repo now includes a number of packages as includes and Excludes, this is to prevent inadvertent system updates occurring when updating the old v1 DB package resulting in unstable or inaccessible systems, this is all they are for. These can be seen here:
db yum_repositories show openfusion
Testing
Now that the package and database are installed, we can test it (refer to Country Code list at end of page as required).
geoiplookup 216.17.211.37
It should return:
GeoIP Country Edition: US, United States
It gives us the country code (US) and the long name (United States). Let's test it again with a domain name.
geoiplookup contribs.org
Same result. So we know it works with ip addresses or domain names. Let's test it again around the world.
geoiplookup gormand.com.au
It should return:
GeoIP Country Edition: AU, Australia
One last time:
geoiplookup swerts-knudsen.dk
It should return:
GeoIP Country Edition: DK, Denmark
Usage
Tracking e-mail
The qpsmtpd GeoIP plugin should now do its work. Check the qpsmtpd logs and you'll see the countries from where mail is sent.
cat /var/log/qpsmtpd/current
We'll use a simple shell script to do the work then we'll run it.
First, create the the script.
vi geoipstats.sh
Insert the following: Code:
#!/bin/sh # Read the qpsmtpd log file. # Read all of the countries and count them. cat /var/log/qpsmtpd/* | \ grep 'GeoIP Country:' | \ sed -e 's/^.*\(..\)$/\1/' | \ sort | uniq -c | sort -n
Now run the script. It will show the number of messages sent by country code.
sh geoipstats.sh
See where your mail is coming from. Now ask the question, "why am I receiving thousands of email from RU -Russia? I don't even know anyone there." Good point. In addition, your server has to process all that mail, taking resources away from the server. In the next section we'll block the countries that we consider bad.
Blocking email
Add the values to the SME CADNHO db. In our case, Russia and Poland seem to causing issues. You can type in any country codes you wish.
config setprop qpsmtpd BadCountries RU,PL
Signal the email-update event.
signal-event email-update
No more mail from domains ending on .ru or .pl. The beauty of this is that the SME Server lookups happen locally on the local database rather than looking up the IP address via dns. This results in very fast responses. In addition, the plugin happens before most other plugins. This means the mail is dropped before the SME Server even has to check to see if it's on a blacklist or if it's spam.

Troubleshooting
At April 2012 there may be some problems with countries not being blocked, possibly related to the way the geo database is updated for free users. User experience and opinion vary, and following a complaint, the original forum post about this has been deleted - http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,48560.0.html
Users are advised to determine the effectiveness of the database for themselves.
Bugs
Please raise bugs under the SME-Contribs section in bugzilla and select the smeserver-geoip component or use this link .
