It looks like rules_du_jour had some trouble with the downtime:
[2753] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: AUTOBAN: Over 500
*.cf requests in 48 hours period - Check your CRON
[2753] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: CONTACT:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Questions this brings up:
1) do systems get un-AUTOBAN'ned after a time interval or should I
request a delisting of each?
2) I see from the archives this was also a problem when the
rulesemporium domain wasn't renewed last year - has anybody implemented
auto back-off behavior for rules_du_jour? It seems to be too aggressive
in these cases.
3) I didn't have a cronjob in to do updates ... would this be fired
off when MailScanner instantiates a new child process and loads
SpamAssassin? That's the only thing I can think of that might have such
a high frequency.
Pls don't automate RDJ. atm there no updates and when there are, they
will be announced
banging rulesemporium.com just increases the load on the *DONATED* DDOS
protection. PLEASE HELP keep the traffic down as much as possible.
4) is openprotect's channel generally considered better practice now?
yes
