It doesn't work for me. I have:

in access.conf

The strange thing is that max_in=100000 works well if it is put there.

Thanks,

That should work I think, send me a tellnews status showing the extra connections
and your access.conf and I'll run a test here to see if I can replicate the problem.

Option :con=2 doesn't seem to work with me. I'm running dmulti with thread_in

false in dnews.conf. Any suggestion?

Set in dnews.conf
        ihave_access "true"
that tells dnews to apply access.conf rules regarding speed to feed channels.
I think that will fix it.

Hi,

The max_in and con settings should limit this. Leave thread_in false, and set 'max_speed 5000'. This is the global per-connection input limit.

incoming feed ? I've tried putting :con=2,max_in=5000 in it's
access.conf entry and restarting the server.

Is there a global way to limit the max # of connections from any
user/incoming feed?

BTW, in dnews.conf, I have the following settings which might
conceivably effect this:
        
                        thread_in false
                        ihave_access true
                        loglvl info
                        access_forward true
                        dns_check true
                        cachedall true
                        spam_stop true      plus additional spam settings
                        inpaths true
                        cancel_disable true
                        control_me true

even if they are in binary groups that are supposed to be blocked.
