Great thanks George. Those settings had been in originally, but I had commented them out during testing and forgot to remove. Doh.
So am I correct in assuming, it limits genuine incoming mails to 50 max during a specific time period from sender x, and the limits the amount of incorrectly addressed/non genuine mail incoming to 10? -----Original Message----- From: George Sweetnam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 September 2006 07:15 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Mail flood question the tcp.smtp file should contain these options: (I set my wrong limit VERY low) CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50" CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 7:16 AM Subject: [qmailtoaster] Mail flood question We've just had a problem with several thousand (20 000+) bombarding our server on random but valid accounts. I was wondering if there was anyway, to prevent or control the amount of incoming mail? The only ones I'm aware off are the concurrencyincoming and remote, but they are on 100 and 60, and I believe they control physical connections don't they? I can't for the life of me think on how to prevent this type of flooding, although not debilitating, it has an impact on our bandwidth. Any help you guys can provide as ever would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------- Craig Smith - Systems Engineer - Doctor Net t. 0870 770 4990 - f. 0870 770 4991 Visit www.doc-net.com - let us be your key to success Visit www.eMailCampaigner.com - close sales cheaper and faster Visit www.SprintCRM.com - understand your customers better and increase sales ------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
