china, korea, russia, and many more network due to spam and other attacks coming to my server and my customer has no reach in this countries and no need from this customers specially for spam mails.

the problem is iptables not working properly and so i cant get it work.

Plesk Firewall module error

I try to add a firewall rule to block IP addresses.

I get an error when I activate the rule.

Error: Could not activate firewall configuration:

safeact: safeact: /usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-new.sh failed:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name


proc_close() failed: var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers

Running Plesk 8.1, FC5 x86 64-bit. Think there is a old script that does work in the new version Plesk/OS env.

Any can help?

Or is Plesk development team going to provide this urgent bug fix? Crucial for security!

Thanks.
