It is an option, I use it (sendmail and exim) but then again DenyHosts is configured to use sshd as service, I don't use ALL, and those mail connections I blacklist are specific for sendmail (or exim). BTW is not for authentication, is just a connection blacklist. If the OP did blacklist himself, there's nothing he can do but wait hoping his IP gets purged... eventually. He also can test what the actual mail server response is, I'm not sure but I see in the logs the tcp_wrappers part, it is very likely that the server does return a full error message, something like "500 Service denied (tcp_wrappers)". -- René Berber P.S. Sorry for the direct reply Phil, my mistake, I didn't see the reply went not to the list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
