Help! My Email Server Got B0rked & I Have Problems After Malware Infection!
The Sucuri Firewall functions as a reverse proxy. A simple change to your DNS settings is all it takes to thoroughly filter incoming traffic to sniff and parse out bad requests from the good ones. However, these DNS changes can affect connectivity to your mail service if not properly implemented.
