Well, I did it last night - I wrote an event driven TCL script that watches the mail log for sendmail's "RCPT Flood" message and then blackholes the IP address... then, after a user specified time limit, it will remove the blackhole automatically. Any add/delete actions are saved in a text file in /tmp in case the system reboots or whatever... so just run it again and it will fix itself. It's TCL - EVERYONE should be able to make sense of it.

If anyone would like a copy... feel free to contact me off the list.

My only request if you're going to use it is not to laugh at my programming. I'm not a programmer.. I'm a hardware guy who programs at gunpoint. ;)


-Ben
