The discussion is about tracking per-DOMAIN counters not per-ADDRESS. The number of your customer DOMAINS (receivers) is "finite" compared to the rest of the Internet DOMAINS (senders). Anyway, after four days of testing and development I recommend that you adopt my first patch for now. Maintaining robust counters for all pending verify requests is not simple and will take more time. Wietse
