uhm... on a second thought.. the delay isn't needed I mean... * ASSP receives a connection request * The connection is accepted * ASSP, before proxying the connection to the local mailserver, checks if the external host already sent something; if so, the connection is dropped * optionally the same check may be applied to the MAIL FROM/RCPT TO/DATA commands; if the remote host doesn't wait for the server response then it's considered an "early talker" and the connection is dropped * in either case, early talkers connecting/retrying too often may then be penalized using the PB Also, implementing the "early talker" check inside the same function performing the HELO check may ease adding such a function to ASSP, and limiting the check to the HELO phase should possibly ease the coding of such a function ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Assp-test mailing list Assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-test
