And then, another script > update /etc/hosts.deny according to the database. we are doing a similar thing, but instead of having a log parser we directly insert the ip into a mysql database using exim builtin mysql support, then every 5 minutes the mysql databse is dumped into a faster cdb databse which is used by exim. Altough it would be better if exim had built in support to insert keys/values into dbm databases as this would make the whole process faster and would allow inmediate availability of banned ip's -- Best regards .... ---------------------------------------------------------------- David Saez Padros http://www.ols.es On-Line Services 2000 S.L. e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pintor Vayreda 1 telf +34 902 50 29 75 08184 Palau-Solita i Plegamans movil +34 670 35 27 53 ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
