John,
 
Been there..doing that. My concern is that Customer #2's email will be incorrectly blocked due to DECCON's "memory". I felt it would be safer to stop the SMTP service before killing the deccon instance.

First, you should be actively monitoring the HOLD2 directory. There are some scripts on the Declude Tools sight that can be used for this.

 

Second, you do not need to cycle the SMTP service. However, you will have to rename the HOLD2 files if you want to release them and then manually move them.

Subject: [Declude.Virus] HiJack Question

 

Scenario: Dialup ISP using dynamic IP allocation.

Customer #1 using IP address of 1.2.3.4 trips threshold #2. Logs off.

Customer #2 logs on and obtains the same IP that customer #1 had (1.2.3.4)

 

My understanding is that HiJack will block Customer #2's outbound email as well. At least until the Declude Console (DECCON.EXE) is closed.

 

Question: If this is true, is it acceptable practice to cleanup HOLD2, stop the SMTP service, kill the DECCON PID and restart the SMTP service? Thx.
