smtpd_junk_command_limit = 100

Ok, I made these changes, but wanted to confirm something...

I'm still seeing lots of these in the logs (but I'm fairly sure this was to be expected?):

2013-08-06T06:31:55-04:00 myhost postfix-25/smtpd[12390]: lost connection after 
VRFY from smtp644.redcondor.net[208.80.206.44]

What I was expecting was that the 'too many errors' issue would be resolved by these changes, but alas, I had one about an hour after making the change (and to be sure I did fully restart postfix):

2013-08-06T07:33:25-04:00 myhost postfix-25/smtpd[12873]: too many errors after 
VRFY from smtp644.redcondor.net[208.80.206.44]

So... does this mean that I need to adjust the values higher? Or dos this mean that this problem is caused by something else?

Thanks,
