Where are you finding these messages, and can you describe your setup? MTA (sendmail/postfix/qmail)? How are you querying the blacklists (in SA only, or at the MTA level)? Are you running a local resolver? And most importantly, what else did you change while upgrading SA? -- /Jason Well just to confirm I have taken the IP addresses and entered them here http://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-database-check.php and almost ALL of them are listed in at least 5 of the lists, this one was on 9 of the lists see below var/log/exim/mainlog:2010-04-13 14:24:17 Connection from [110.139.156.19] refused: too many connections /var/log/exim/mainlog:2010-04-13 14:24:17 Connection from [110.139.156.19] refused: too many connections /var/log/exim/mainlog:2010-04-13 14:24:18 Connection from [110.139.156.19] refused: too many connections /var/log/exim/mainlog:2010-04-13 14:24:18 Connection from [110.139.156.19] refused: too many connections /var/log/exim/mainlog:2010-04-13 14:24:19 Connection from [110.139.156.19] refused: too many connections /var/log/exim/mainlog:2010-04-13 14:24:19 Connection from [110.139.156.19] refused: too many connections /var/log/exim/mainlog:2010-04-13 14:24:20 Connection from [110.139.156.19] refused: too many connections My setup is as follows Freebsd Exim Clamav SA To be Totally Honest I had set this box up a LONG time ago (4 years?
