Every time the security report is sent, I have these entries too: > Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:49161 flags:0x02 > Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:49163 flags:0x02 There are not hundreds of entries of course only 6 or something depending of the quantity of sent mails It would be nice to have a/some flag(s) in rc.conf for log_in_vain like: log_in_vain_flags="-ii0 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1" -ii would be "ignore interfaces" for example This would be very useful on a host with multiple interfaces. In this case log_in_vain would ignore entries for 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.1 (would be an internal interface). Even if it is not a bug it would a nice little plus. ;-) Regards, > It's not that I don't think it's a bug that warrants attention; I > don'tthink it's a bug at all. > Ceri
