hi ! i'm a little confused about the effect of: smtpd_client_connection_count_limit (default: 50) smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit (default: 0)*
*if this is default, why do i get this messages:Mar 24 13:51:54 womdsp postfix/anvil[12492]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:77.40.36.106) at Mar 24 13:42:53 Mar 24 13:51:54 womdsp postfix/anvil[12492]: statistics: max connection count 1 for (smtp:77.40.36.106) at Mar 24 13:42:53 Mar 24 13:51:54 womdsp postfix/anvil[12492]: statistics: max cache size 1 at Mar 24 13:42:53 Mar 24 14:00:56 womdsp postfix/anvil[12655]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:194.121.2.5) at Mar 24 13:57:05 Mar 24 14:00:56 womdsp postfix/anvil[12655]: statistics: max connection count 1 for (smtp:194.121.2.5) at Mar 24 13:57:05 Mar 24 14:00:56 womdsp postfix/anvil[12655]: statistics: max cache size 1 at Mar 24 13:57:05 Mar 24 14:11:20 womdsp postfix/anvil[12809]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:88.247.161.247) at Mar 24 14:02:15 Mar 24 14:11:20 womdsp postfix/anvil[12809]: statistics: max connection count 1 for (smtp:88.247.161.247) at Mar 24 14:02:15 Mar 24 14:11:20 womdsp postfix/anvil[12809]: statistics: max cache size 2 at Mar 24 14:04:08 if i interpret this right my , default_process_limit is 2 but i there is no default_process_limit directive in my config if i set smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 100 smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 1000 i still get: Mar 24 15:07:59 womdsp postfix/anvil[13338]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:213.152.249.234) at Mar 24 15:04:06 Mar 24 15:07:59 womdsp postfix/anvil[13338]: statistics: max connection count 1 for (smtp:213.152.249.234) at Mar 24 15:04:06 Mar 24 15:07:59 womdsp postfix/anvil[13338]: statistics: max cache size 2 at Mar 24 15:04:37 meanwhile i think i completely misunderstood maybee you can help postconf -d mail_versoin: mail_version = 2.5.5 here is my postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_at_myorigin = yes append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix inet_interfaces = all local_destination_recipient_limit = 1 local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_database local_transport = local mail_spool_directory = /var/mail mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 0 mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain mydomain = womdsp.mine.nu.local myhostname = womdsp.mine.nu mynetworks_style = host myorigin = $myhostname recipient_delimiter = + setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_banner = $myhostname smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 100 smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 1000 smtpd_data_restrictions = reject_multi_recipient_bounce, reject_unauth_pipelining smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unlisted_recipient, permit smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_sender, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/ispcp/transport virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/ispcp/aliases virtual_gid_maps = static:8 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/virtual virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/ispcp/domains virtual_mailbox_limit = 0 virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/ispcp/mailboxes virtual_minimum_uid = 1001 virtual_transport = virtual virtual_uid_maps = static:1001 initially the machine was running ispcp ( "the" - vhcs-forc ) thanks chris
