Apparently I have misunderstood something.
Is tarpitting only enabled when the environment variable TARPITCOUNT is set?
On my toaster, I have two files that control it:
:::::::::::::: /var/qmail/control/tarpitcount :::::::::::::: 5 :::::::::::::: /var/qmail/control/tarpitdelay :::::::::::::: 15
You'd have to check the source code to see if there's a way to disable it via environment variables.
Thanks, and just to clearify things...
There are two control files
involved: control/tarpitcount and control/tarpitdelay. tarpitcount is the
number of RCPT TOs you accept before you start tarpitting, and tarpitdelay is
the number of seconds of delay to introduce after each subsequent RCPT TO.
tarpitcount defaults to 0 (which means no tarpitting), and tarpitdelay defaults
to 5. You can override both tarpitcount and tarpitdelay by setting TARPITCOUNT
and TARPITDELAY in qmail-smtpd's environment (with tcpserver).
