I wouldn't consider it a DOS, it is their system initiating the connection. If you REJECT a message that should not generate any additional messages from your server, but it may generate one on the remote side. the REJECT comes during the time that the remote system is trying to transmit the message, not after the message has already been accepted(generally). and if both mail servers behave right, the reject message should start with a 550 which tells the remote server not to try to deliver that message again. Though in my experience few(if any?) servers seem to follow this. there's one user on this list which triggers my server-side rejects and I get about 500 rejects a week from redhat. I keep meaning to add that email address to the regex whitelist but haven't gotten around to it yet. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
