I run denyhosts but don't trap pop3 messages so I manually added the IP |
| 11 |
address to /etc/hosts.deny and..., it made absolutely no difference. I run |
| 12 |
qpopper which is compiled with xinetd support and xinetd uses tcpd, so I |
| 13 |
assumed the address would be blocked. Apparently not so. Any ideas? |
