Ask HN: How do you protect your Mailserver from DDoS Attacks?
2 by Wronnay | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I manage my own mailserver since several years and i think many others here use solutions like Mail-in-a-box, mailcow, Mailu, etc Until Corona i never had big problems with my mailserver but in the last weeks i got very big incoming Traffic - that was too much for my server and i had to manually reboot it every time ... I know DDoS protection solutions for websites like Cloudflare - but as far as i know Cloudflare doesn't work with mailserver because of the reverse DNS lookup which is needed to communicate with big email providers. So does anyone had the same problems and found a solution for it? (A solution other than just switching to Gmail or other big players)
