Thanks Alex, that's OK to a point, but: 1. If I choose the append option, the denySMTPConnectionsFrom file will just grow over time, with no pruning of duplicate entries, whereas if I choose to overwrite I won't be able to maintain my own manual entries in denySMTPConnectionsFrom.
2. Once an IP gets penalty-extreme'd it will be denied forever. There's be no reasonable way to age entries in the way that the penalty box does. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Frunza [mailto:ad...@ascomex.ro] Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2009 11:48 AM To: ASSP development mailing list Subject: Re: [Assp-test] Feature Request re IP Penalty Blocking You have the option to export Penalty Extreme, and can export them directly into your denysmtpfrom...file (make sure the append option is used).
