No, has nothing to do with the dictionary attack on my box. For example: Jun 7 11:51:36 bugzilla postfix/qmgr[632]: E27EB83B57: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1149, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 7 11:51:36 bugzilla postfix/smtp[18593]: E27EB83B57: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=1, status=deferred (connect to mail.apache.org[209.237.227.199]: server dropped connection without sending the initial greeting) [...] Jun 7 19:23:21 bugzilla postfix/qmgr[632]: E27EB83B57: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1149, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 7 19:23:32 bugzilla postfix/smtp[23252]: E27EB83B57: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=mail.apache.org[209.237.227.199], delay=27117, status=sent (250 Queued! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) apparently mail.apache.org was dropping our connections for ~6 hours. mail I sent to the -dev list at 11am only showed up at some point in the evening -- my response to it showed up before the original message. on a side tangent though, I used to have ~7k spamtrap addresses on my box, mostly generated from previous dictionary attacks. in the past week, there are 140k new addresses (that's after running through uniq) listed as "unknown" in my mail log. <grumble> -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "If you ever reach total enlightenment while drinking beer, I bet it makes beer shoot out your nose." - Deep Thought, Jack Handy
