Well, I'm not certain what IMAIL does but I believe the acl is in
memory for IMAIL because you have to toggle the SMTP service when
you change the acl file.
Also, IMAIL handles IP's that are temporarily blocked because of
the "hack attempt" setting. My guess is that these are stored in
the same memory resident table and then when the server is toggled
the "temporary" ones are overwritten by the acl file which is re-read
into memory.
In my case I only read the acl file when my log file monitor
starts. It is then held in memory as a Perl associative array. I
assume IMAIL probably does something similar but I really don't
know.
