hi,
| | If you don't have enough capacity to do the 5xx errors on the main | | mail servers then setup another (small) machine and redirect (instead | | of blocking) all connections to that box and let it emit 5xx errors. | | That can be a very small and fast deamon. It can reject maaaany | | connections per second. Even if it is too slow it doesn't matter | | much. Important is that sometime soon there will be a 5xx error | | and the sending mail server stops trying. We could write such a | | small 5xx error deamon if you need one. It's not a big thing. | | Too much effort. And writing a proxy always gets you into the | same trouble again: From the smtpd's point of view the connections | come from localhost (or from wherever you installed that proxy).
Hmm .. I just assumed you meant proxy, but when reading your text again you could have meant virtually anything with "redirecting". So my apologies if I got you wrong.
Oh and sorry for stealing a potential job from you. I'm sure we can send the 150 CHF/h bill (combined effort) to cablecom and split the profit in half.
If the inetd-Solution does not work, I offer "451"-Hosting for 0.01 CHF per discarded connection on high-speed, redundant, state-of-the-art servers. Can anyone do that cheaper? huh?
