I was looking at the default levels for anvil and unless I am
misunderstanding (likely) they seem really high.
smtpd_client_connection_count_limit (default: 50)
The maximum number of connections that an SMTP client
may make simultaneously.
So, a single client can open up *50* simultaneous smtp connections?
smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit (default: no limit)
The maximum number of connections that an SMTP client may
make in the time interval specified with
anvil_rate_time_unit (default: 60s).
And can do so every single second?
My server is pretty light weight, and I don't tend to get too many
floods of spammers, but are these defaults reasonable to mitigate the
damage that a flood might do? Are these defaults anything a normal
user is ever going to hit?
