-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Okay, the bastards e-mailing all sorts of ficticious addresses, and SMTP message id's struck again.
About 200 odd messages were delivered or attempted delivery to TMDA in fairly short order, it managed to reply 29 times to one of the poor sods whose address had been spoofed. Given the "quality" of the addresses mailed, and the volume, clearly using multiple open relays in parallel, this guy (and the handful of others being spoofed by the same spammer) is/are probably in for several hundred thousand bounced messages (assuming the relevant mail servers don't crumble first). My box ground to a halt under the effort of running enough concurrent TMDA sessions. I suspect having only one disk for queue and delivery ain't good, but then this is a small place hell we only handle mail for a handful of people, also the memory for lots of TMDA sessions maybe an issue, but it seems odd. Surely others must have this problem? Seems to me setting MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY to 2 would mitigate both issues somewhat, why is the default 50? Magical number picked by Jason, or product of bitter experience? Any other tips to stop Postfix firing off zillions of sessions of TMDA, or make TMDA quick enough to deliver that it isn't an issue, appreciated. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+KDtXGFXfHI9FVgYRAhtUAKCrmFODfGPttvW5/xjQ9kwA2FHmnQCg1fnn BR9IUUN/fEZKkT0SrjJGd/s= =9RfV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
