i agree. it's a little confusing, but if you read -B fully:
-B maxblack
The maximum number of concurrent blacklisted connections to
allow in greylisting mode. This value may not be greater
than maxcon (see below). The default is maxcon - 100.
i think the "(see below)" also indicates that maxcon (and it's value) is
described later.
but you were right about an error, claus: there was a full stop missing. ;)
