Thanks for the explanation. I understood that "officially" it can't
be done (I would otherwise not have been digging through the data and
resource forks), but I was hoping someone knew how.
The reason I am looking, is because I would like to lower the count
threshold and increase the delay. In fact, I believe that, SIMS-PPC
1.8b9d14, these parameters are actually stricter. For instance, 5
failures seems to cause a tempban. I would like to institute a much
longer delay like (like 15 minutes) after 2 or 3 failures on the
premise that a legitimate server will keep trying periodically for
several days and a legitimate sender will detect and correct the
incorrect email address.
At 11:51 AM -0700 9/5/06, allan sent email regarding parameters for
suspending suspected in address harvesting:
Can anyone explain this? I cannot find anything like this in
either the data or resource fork of SIMS-PPC 1.8b9d14.
Since it's hard-coded, changing it would be difficult. Why are you
looking for this?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Technical Support, Stalker Labs) said:
The parameters for suspending an SMTP session suspected in
address harvesting are hardcoded as follows:
#define kRCPTFailShortCounter 3 // so many failures will cause
short delay
#define kRCPTFailShortDelay 10 // 10 seconds
#define kRCPTFailLongCounter 10 // so many failures will cause
long delay
#define kRCPTFailLongDelay 60 // 1 minute
Understand that the lines quoting the #defines are source code
which has been compiled into the data fork. You will not find
instances of those variable by those names in the compiled code.
If you are hoping to change those parameters, officially, you
cannot -- being hard coded and all.
