i agree. it's a little confusing, but if you read -B fully: -B maxblack The maximum number of concurrent blacklisted connections to allow in greylisting mode. This value may not be greater than maxcon (see below). The default is maxcon - 100. i think the "(see below)" also indicates that maxcon (and it's value) is described later. but you were right about an error, claus: there was a full stop missing. ;) jmc
