Yeah, that is a good idea. I think I year ago I wrote a small extension to the existing POP-before-SMTP which basically extended its functionality to POP-before-FTP, too. It dynamically queried the POP-before-SMTP database of IPs every 5 minutes and then allowed FTP for these IPs for the next 30 minutes. But that's still not a really satisfying solution due to the extra overhead - both technically and also from a support point of view. -- With best regards, Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
