We recently enabled anvil on one of our mail servers to reduce the spammers hosing us up. This mail server is also our user mailbox server so it is for incoming email from our MX boxes and does SMTP Auth from our users. After enabling anvil I am having a hard time telling if it works.
Part of my postconf -n smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 10 smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 10 anvil is default 60s Log file results: Oct 15 17:48:18 dur postfix/anvil[27487]: statistics: max connection rate 46/60s for (smtp:114.44.114.97) at Oct 15 17:43:07 Oct 15 18:18:18 dur postfix/anvil[27487]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:209.183.51.42) at Oct 15 18:08:21 Oct 15 19:48:18 dur postfix/anvil[27487]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:209.183.51.42) at Oct 15 19:38:21 Oct 15 20:08:18 dur postfix/anvil[27487]: statistics: max connection rate 34/60s for (smtp:118.160.236.225) at Oct 15 20:06:32 I see in the log file 46/60s but what does this mean based on my smtpd settings above.
