DESCRIPTION

Watch the system log files for messages that are addressed to non-existant addresses.

This plugin requires mailer-specific plugins to help it.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

The following configuration parameters are supported:

debug

Debugging on (1) or off (0).

every

This module is being used in the context of noticing spam. We will consider every Nth such mis-addressed message to be a spam. This parameter says what N is. (Default: 3)

ipcachesize

Since we wait for N (default 3) bad addresses from a host before we count it as a spam, we must cache the IP addresses and message counts. This parameter sets the cache size. (Default 10,000).

ignoreip

This parameter provides a filename to look in for a list of IP addresses or blocks that should be ignored. (No default)
