Hi JP
I was just thinking in a general setup.
Not everyone knows how to set iptables.
And I often see spammers connecting to some of my smtps with 30-40 connections (at least trying ..) :) that would easily get your server down for your customers, the max concurrencyincoming wont allow any new connections

I use that kind of template (you can easily add -s and -d to filter)
iptables -I INETIN -p tcp --dport 25 -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set iptables -I INETIN -p tcp --dport 25 -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 10 -j DROP

QToaster should add either the option through tcp.smtp or some basic iptables rules it would help a few users I think. Too often you see 30-100 connections from the same source and that just blocks your server for your "real" users

Just an idea :)

Hi Philip,

Just curious but what good does it do when you can allready do this with iptables? When I changed ucspi-tcp-toaster last week I figured they were not very usefull..

Subject: [qmailtoaster] tcpserver-limits-patch


Hello EE
would it be possible to integrate the tcpserver-limits-patch into the ucspi-tcp-toaster ? It is pretty useful to have MAXLOAD MAXCONNIP MAXCONNC & DIEMSG in the tcp.smtp cdb file

I am already doing that trough my iptables setup but it could be useful
Thx
-Philip
