DoPenaltyExtremeSMTP blocks early, based on the IP's score from previous SMTP sessions.
DoPenaltyExtreme blocks later (after the header is done), based on the IP's score from previous and the current SMTP session. So, yes, both are useful as an IP might slip by DoPenaltyExtremeSMTP because it's score from previous sessions doesn't exceed PenaltyExtreme, but get caught later by DoPenaltyExtreme after the IP's score has been increased by failed header checks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Houlbrooke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ASSP development mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:49 PM Subject: Re: [Assp-test] DoPenaltyExtreme & DoPenaltyExtremeSMTP > Fritz Borgstedt wrote: >>> DoPenaltyExtreme says it blocks IPs >>> DoPenaltyExtremeSMTP says it blocks SMTP connections >> >> >> Both block IPs. >> One does it earlier than the other - guess who? > > I don't know, who?... it doesn't say.
