Mail server under attack
Somebody for the last few days has been trying persistently to hack my mail server i own a personal website that i run from home for my personal use first im not exactly sure how they got my address in the first place but someone has been trying to hack it for the last few days
so far i have blocked more than 50 ip addresses they have not succeeded yet they are using dictionary attack the ip addresses seem to be from different places around world i did a port scan on one of the ips (197.245.94.133) and found 3389 was open and decided to connect but
cant crack the password but i was able to discover the account guest is active and is password protected if somebody wants to hack them they are more than welcome has somebody else been targeted by this im going to leave a list of some of the ips they’ve been using..

This doesn’t necessarily mean you are being specifically targeted. It is common for bots to just scan IP ranges for potentially exploitable services and try to brute force logins when they find one. Best solution is probably something like fail2ban.
B.t.w., you might want to invest in some punctuation.
