The 'exportExtremeFile' file is only appended by ASSP, it does not read the IPs back into itself for processing other than to sort them and make sure they are unique, none are ever removed from the list by ASSP. You could use a cron job to merge the 2 files, however i would be hesitant to do this automatically. > If that is the case - should the exportextreme.txt file be deleted each > time to avoid duplication in the denysmtp.txt? I don't think there is any issue having duplicate IPs in the 'denySMTPConnectionsFrom' file. Keep in mind once you put an IP in the 'denySMTPConnectionsFrom' it will never again appear in the 'exportExtremeFile'(it will be blocked before it has a chance).
