Hi all, As I have been watching my qpsmtpd logs I have noticed that regardless of how high I set the max connections (currently 100 with 5 max from ip) we seem to consistently run steady at the limit. It has made me wonder how many of these connections are garbage and could be avoided all together.
I am thinking about running some analysis on the remote hosts to identify for each ip, host, and domain how many messages have been received that were identified to be spam, virus, or clean mail. The idea would be to then take this information and create a ratio - if the threshold is crossed then the remote ip, host, and/or domain would be blacklisted/greylisted for a period of time. What do you think, is there value in this approach? Max -- Max Clark http://www.clarksys.com
