  NAME
    blocksmtp

SYNOPSIS
    A daemon to detect spammers trying to harvest email addresses by
    username guessing and temporarily DROP them with iptables
    firewall rules.

OTHER FEATURES
    This program also looks for and kills sendmail processes that
    have been stuck in "cmd read" mode for a long time. The
    definition of a "long time" is controlled by the global variable
    $MAX_RUNTIME_SENDMAIL_CMD_READ which represents the number of
    seconds since a given sendmail process, that is stuck on "cmd
    read" mode, started running.

CAVEATS
    This program has only been tested on Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels
    and sendmail 8.12.x and 8.13.x. It may work with other
    platforms, but none have been tested by the author.
