The point of listing and IP address in denySMTPConnectionsFromAlways is not to be nice. The only reason any IP address should be in there is because all it sends is spam. So, if you have listed an IP address in there that may or may not send spam, you should remove it. Another reason denySMTPConnectionsFromAlways was created was to save processing time and bandwidth. > In cases where this is a false positive, the unfortunate > senders will never know their mail did not reach the final > destination. Yes, they will, eventually (unless they're not using a RFC compliant mail server). If you have listed an IP address in denySMTPConnectionsFromAlways and it turns out that the sending mail server's IP shouldn't be listed there, the original sender "will" receive a mail message at the end of the retry period that the sending mail server observes (which could be 24/48/72 or some other amount of hours). "DenySMTPConnectionsFromAlways" is not a list to be taken lightly. IMHO it shouldn't have to be ASSP's problem to have to reply with a rejection in this circumstance. That gets you back to the whole idea of wasting processing time and bandwidth. Kind Regards, Brett ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
