Good time of the day. This does not work for me: /sbin/iptables -I INPUT 4 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -m state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 10 -j LOG --log-prefix INPUT-EXTRA_SMTP-> --log-level 1 giving this error: Bad argument `NEW' According to man, it is correct. Please advice how I can accomplish this. OR Is it a bug and should be reported? Thanks for Your time.
