New Version with the Ratelimit Patch

Hi all!

Does someone know when a new Version of Exim is available which contains the ratelimit patch
from Tony Finch.

We are a mail provider and like to use the features of the patch.

Thanks Hans

Which patch you are referring to, if it's not incorporated in Exim 4.69?

I'm on leave next week, and I have some upgrade work to do on our email
system (replacing a crusty old MailScanner setup with Exiscan) before I
get back to working on Exim. If all goes well I might be able to roll a
release before the end of July.

Tony.

Re: New Version with the Ratelimit Patch [In reply to]

That would be great. I'm really looking forward to it.
Because some bad guy's use our service to try to send
spam. At the moment i use a perl script i wrote with exim
to look into the queue but that is not a very good solution!

And with the feature i already asked sometime ago
i will be able to fight against them :-)

Regards Hans!

Wouldn't something like this work/help?

warn ratelimit = 200 / 1h / per_rcpt / strict
delay = 10s
log_message = Sender $sender_address rate $sender_rate /
$sender_rate_period excedes limit delayed 10 seconds
