Plug in surbl also while it seems to race along ;) A couple of my locally hosted domains have been hammered the last couple of days in the region of 500+% increase in what appears to be a dictionary attack. Since my servers only accept incoming for valid users it's been annoying rather than crippling. I'd strongly suggest that anyone fool enough to have catch-all accounts disable them. I had one domain with that enabled (an oversight) and it logged 14k+ hits in 5 hours. URIBL was running very slow so I assume I wasn't the only one getting hit. On an odd note my local.cf has a timeout of 10 seconds, but I saw many scans hitting 40+ seconds Anyway, point being - watch those catch-alls. Hope that helps somebody Kind regards Nigel
