Well, one of restarting sendmail or dccd (or both) makes this problem go away. I'm just telling you what I'm observing. > The message means that `dccd -G on` is receiving a suspiciously high > rate of requests from the `dccm` (or dccifd or dccproc) process at > 127.0.0.1 using DCC client-ID 32768. Yeah, don't know why. My system does maybe 500 messages per day tops (maybe 490 spam, 10 legit). For each mail that comes in, once this problem starts happening, I get "2798 requests/sec are too many from..." for every email received, until I restart. Oddly, restarting also seemed to cause my original email to get resent, but I have no idea why that is ... I assume it is unrelated. Actually the reason I was playing with it is because I want to increase my embargo time from the default. Right now my only option is -G IPweak/16 or whatever. If I want to use that, and increase my embargo to say, an hour, what would be an example of the syntax for my dcc_conf file? The reason is in about the last month or so, I've seen a huge uptick in the amount of greylisting-resistant spamming, usually it's a picture of a chick measuring some guy's dong with a tape measure, pushing pills or whatever. I'm hoping that after an hour, either the spammer will give up or the zombie/proxy/whatever will show up in DNS blocklists by that time... _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
