Mailgun is leaking my DigitalOcean server IPs via emails deployed for Discourse which is resulting in repeated DDoS attacks. Received: from localhost.localdomain (sposting.com [**REAL IP HERE**]) by mxa.mailgun.org with ESMTP id 78c1220.7fe02c20b530-smtp-out-n03; Wed, 15 Mar 2017 01:30:08 -0000 (UT…

Derp. Thanks. That won’t prevent the IP from leaking via Mailgun though, will it? I think I might be limited to Mailgun API only. No idea how I’m going to integrate that if so.

Mailgun is a separate problem, but you’ve got to close off every avenue of leakage if you want to remain DDoS proof.

Yeah. The relay server is the cleaner of those solutions. You could offer a bounty for someone to write a send-with-mailgun-api plugin. I have no idea how hard it’d be, but there are hooks to use mailgun webhooks.

Solved. The quick and dirty solution was indeed a mail relay server. I set up a cheap $5/mo DigitalOcean droplet running Postfix as a Mailgun relay and a custom header_checks file to prevent the original requesting IP, i.e. my Discourse droplet, from being displayed in the email headers. Discourse …

Just for curiosity I checked what Mandrill does, and yes it leaks my server IP address too. So if I were concerned hiding the original IP gainst DOS, I would setup a mailrelay .

For those who are looking at this today, someone who wants to DDOS you can drop anything that discourse tries to fetch, point the url of the file to a server they control and get your IP address. Relay for the mail server isn’t enough, you need a rule to send new outbound connections from discourse …

You could also use firewall rules to disable all connections except from cloudflare.

Oh. Right. I totally forgot spoofing the source IP address for a DDOS attack.
