I still see many such errors. I think they are viruses and bots trying to spam you. I haven't heard any complaint about mail lost because of this problem. When I look at those hosts, they still seem as some infected machines... > Has anyone else noticed these problems with sendmail's greet_pause > feature? Any suggestions (besides use another MTA) would be appreciated. I don't think you should anything. It's very nice anti-spam feature of sendmail. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
