OK - we touched on this earlier but want to see if I can actually make it work. What I want to do is use ratelimit to limit IP addresses so that if I get several invalid users (dictionary attack) that the IP address of the attacker get a defer until some time passes. I'm thinking that one bad recitient gets you defered for 10 minutes.
So what I need apparently is a pair of acls and trying to understand how it works. The first ACL will need to read the rate into an ACL variable without adding to the total. I guess if I had a condition in the acl that forced it to be false then the count wouldn't increase? But if it's false, can I set the variable? Just wondering if anyone has a working model based on this idea? -- ## 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/
