I don't see any such parameter. Are you referring to postscreen_bare_newline_ttl ?
I think the docs are pretty clear that postscreen_bare_newline_ttl is the time during which clients are not re-tested and the previous result is used. Frequent re-testing is disruptive to the mail flow from legit clients -- the default 30d seems about right.
This is how postscreen_bare_newline works, right? It assumes that spammers only try to connect once when, really, they may try to connect many times within 1 minute, fooling postscreen_bare_newline as it currently is.
No, frequent reconnects do not affect the bare newline tests. -- Noel Jones
