Is that spelled out in your TOS? I guess one minute is a valid setting. If they were checking it every 10 seconds it would probably fall under some kind of general "don't abuse the server" section of the TOS. Actually the most annoying thing is that it is filling the logs up. So looking at it from that angle: basically xinetd runs interference for the POP server right? In order to not log POP connections... or to pull them out into a seperate log... would I be looking for an xinetd setting? or an ipop3 setting? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
