The current Subscription Rules cause Snort to error out. The specific rules are:

[3690] alert udp ![$SMTP_SERVERS,$DNS_SERVERS] any -> $DNS_SERVERS 53 ( msg:"ET DNS DNS Lookup for 
localhost.DOMAIN.TLD";...
[5648] alert tcp !$SMTP_SERVERS any -> !$HOME_NET 25 ( msg:"ET POLICY Outbound Multiple Non-SMTP Server Emails";...
[5659] alert tcp !$HOME_NET any -> $HOME_NET 25 ( msg:"ET POLICY Inbound Frequent Emails - Possible Spambot Inbound";…

These are not subscription rules, these are Emerging Threat rules, and will not work on Snort++.


This is the error Snort is outputting:

...
Loading snort3.rules:
ERROR: snort3.rules:3690 !any is not allowed: ![$SMTP_SERVERS,$DNS_SERVERS].
ERROR: snort3.rules:5648 !any is not allowed: !$SMTP_SERVERS.
ERROR: snort3.rules:5648 !any is not allowed: !$HOME_NET.
ERROR: snort3.rules:5659 !any is not allowed: !$HOME_NET.
Finished snort3.rules.
...

I'm commenting these rules (#alert...) until the problem is fixed.

This error “!any”, is because you have HOME_NET set to “any” in your snort.conf
