Sorry to post a second response...
[575]> egrep -i refuse /tmp/w | wc -l
20958
/tmp/w is a 'tcp-env' egrep for "warn|refuse"
so, I have a few sites that are attempting to send me mail:
Aug 16 16:02:53 ns1 tcp-env[28420]: warning: host name/name mismatch: sunshine.hcr.net
!= ns.hcr.net
Aug 16 16:02:53 ns1 tcp-env[28420]: refused connect from 208.240.246.4
Aug 15 19:08:23 ns1 tcp-env[6387]: warning: can't verify hostname:
gethostbyname(nehealth1.mint.net) failed
Aug 15 19:08:23 ns1 tcp-env[6387]: refused connect from 208.220.39.236
and about 6 others...
but the above ones are trying to connect very often.
The mint.net one is trying every 3 seconds, and the other
one tries not quite so often -- but the problem is that
*every* machine that is refused, is repeatedly trying to
reconnect and send. I really wanna tell them to stop it
in a not so polite way.
Scott
ps: yes, some are hostname mismatches from places like
ATM*.home.net and stuff... probably spam.
