Do you accept more connections in parallel than before the migration? The earlytalker plugin also reports clients which closed the socket before the timeout. If there is a significant time between the completion of the tcp handshake (which is handled entirely by the kernel) and the time qpsmtpd (or tcpserver) accepts the connection, it is possible that the client already gave up. In this case an earlytalker would be reported even though the client is an early non-talker :-). hp -- _ | Peter J.
