I have max daemon children set to 250. Occasionally one machine will open 250 connections, probably spamming, so sendmail stops new connections.
Is there a sendmail way to limit # of connections by ip address?
Read the docs for the latest sendmail releases after 8.13.x There's tons ( Well, maybe not tons.) of ways to screw up people connecting fanatically to your mailserver. I just loved it when they brought that stuff out in 8.13.0 <G>
