I used to get legitimate mailing list traffic from post.taipan2.net
until last Monday. Since then I haven't received any more connections
from post.taipan2.net.
qpsmtpd-xinetd is as follows:
service smtp
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = smtpd
groups = yes
server = /usr/sbin/in.qpsmtpd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
rlimit_as = 128M
instances = 40
per_source = 10
cps = 50 10
}
I went back to check my source, namely
http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org/deploy:start
, which points to
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qpsmtpd/2007/01/msg6220.html
, but that message is empty...
I can't find in.qpsmtpd and qpsmtpd-xinetd in trunk either -- weren't
they supposed to go into the distribution?
per_source = 10
effectively does limit the number of connections; that's why I haven't
received anything from post.taipan2.net anymore. But what can I do
against the hanging processes? I'll try experimenting with
rlimit_cpu
Is this a misconfiguration of post.taipan2.net? What should I tell its
postmaster?
Hans
P.S. At this point I'm not sure whether xpressmail2.emarsys.net sends
legitimate traffic or not.
