IP Abuse List .txt file via http
It would be very nice if MDaemon would add a IP Address to a IPFirewall.txt file that could be stored in a custom location for download via the http server.
The goal would be to allow a firewall to download a file containing the list of IP Addresses that are being logged via MDaemon security for either to many authentication attempts, etc.
This list would be very helpful with providing a means for Firewall Integration.
This technology already exists in firewalls, they just need IP Lists .txt so they can be used for filtering.
The end goal, to provide a IPFirewall.txt, that can be custom named, and located in the http folder, that can be downloaded via the http server by a firewall.

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your idea with us to store blocked IP addresses in a text file. While there is no feature in MDaemon to store blocked IP addresses in a text file, this is already being done. The files are probably not in the format that you’d need so you would have to write a script to gather the data and put it in the format you desire.
MDaemon stores the IP addresses configured in IP Screening in the MDaemon\app\IPScreen.dat file. MDaemon stores the Dynamic Screening Black list in the MDaemon\Data\DSBlackList.dat file. Both of these files are plain text files that can be opened with notepad.
As for making the file available via HTTP, you can simply place the file in the MDaemon\WorldClient\HTML directory. Although, I do not recommend it as anybody can download the file.
Thanks,
Arron
