Hi list,

I came across an e-mail originating at a customer domain hosted in a dedicated server provided by my company, whose outgoing relay and incoming MX are the same, namely mx0.<domain>, and that Botnet in my server tagged with:

BOTNET=5,     BOTNET_CLIENT=0.01, BOTNET_IPINHOSTNAME=0.01

The only matching rule seems to be coming from botnet_ipinhostname()

Reverse DNS is OK.

Could somebody tell what could have triggered the rule ? if the 0 (zero) in the mx0 hostname , or the fact that they use the same server for incoming or outgoing relay ? or maybe anything else I should look at ?

Thank you,

/Carlos

Botnet 0.6 causes a timeout while MA is running SA on a DSN message.


It looks to me like it's not being caused by a DSN message, it's that the IP doesn't have a PTR record, and your mail server has rather slow DNS. Do you have a caching DNS server on your mail server, by chance?
