It means that the DCC client on port 41617 on 127.0.0.1 with DCC client-ID 32768 sent at least 1792 requests in the preceeding second to the greylist server. 1792 requests/second are more than 150 million requests per day. A DCC client hitting a server that hard is probably attempting a denial of service attack. 1792 requests/second about greylisting imply 1792 SMTP transactions per second or more than 150 million mail messages per day from a single MTA. That is even less likely to be kosher. If that greylist database server traffic rate is reasonable, add an -R setting such as "-R 2000' to GREY_DCCD_ARGS in /var/dcc/dcc_conf and restart `dccd -Gon` with `/var/dcc/libexec/rcDCC start` Vernon Schryver [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
