- CONNECTION RATE CONTROL FOR SENDMAIL
- ------------------------------------
-
-This patch adds connection rate control feature to sendmail.
-
-This means :
-
-- sendmail counts on a sliding window the number of connections
- for each smtp client, and if it exceeds maximum configured
- value, connection is refused with a TEMPFAIL result.
-
-- you may surely want to exclude some hosts/networks from this
- control (local networks, trusted networks, ...). You may
- indicate the list of trusted servers (by ip address) at
- some configuration file.

-INSTALLING :
-------------
-
-1. Copy the patches :
-
- cd /PATH_TO/sendmail-8.12.9
- cp /elsewhere/ratectrl.src.patch .
- cp /elsewhere/ratectrl.cf.patch .
-
-2. Eventually save original source code :
-
- cp -pr sendmail sendmail.org
- cp -pr cf cf.org
-
-3. Apply the patches
-
- cd sendmail
- patch < ../ratectrl.src.patch
- cd ../cf
- patch < ../ratectrl.cf.patch
-
-4. Inform sendmail Build system that you want to use this stuff
-
- Add the following line to the file devtools/Site/site.config.m4 :
-
-APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF',`-D_FFR_CONNECTION_RATE_CONTROL')
-
-5. Rebuild sendmail and install
-
- cd /PATH_TO/sendmail-8.12.9
- ./Build -c
- su
- ./Build install
-
-6. Modify your configuration file (sendmail.mc for your site)
-
-You may add the following lines :
-
- FEATURE(rate_control)
-
-This will create the following lines at your sendmail.cf file :
-
------
-
-O CheckConnectionRate=True
-
-F{rate_exclude} -o /etc/mail/rate-control-exclude
-
-# maximum server connection rate (connections / minute)
-#O MaxConnectionRate=600
-
-# maximum connection rate per client (connections / minute)
-#O MaxClientConnectionRate=5
-
-# Width of the window
-#O ConnectionRateWindowSize=60
-
-----
-
-Configuration parameters you may define at your mc file
-
-confRATE_EXCLUDE_FILE The name of the file defining class {rate_exclude}.
- Access to the server will be granted to IP hosts
- networks matching this class without connection
- rate control.
- Default Value : /etc/mail/rate-control-exclude
-
-confMAX_CLIENT_CONNECTION_RATE : Maximum connections per minute allowed
- for hosts/networks not matching {rate_exclude}
- class.
- Default Value : 5 connections / minute.
-
-confMAX_CONNECTION_RATE : Maximum connections per minute for the server.
- Default Value : 600 connections / minute.
-
-confCONNECTION_RATE_WINDOW_SIZE : Width of the measuring sliding window.
- The value used to do rate control is the mean
- of the number of connections inside this window.
- Default Value : 60 (1 minute)
