Re: [AMaViS-user] Anyone else is getting many "aborted" SMTP

yes, i noticed this too.

in sendmail log it is:
[x.x.x.x] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA

we see this all the time - but as you noticed - it is very much increased
since 16.12.06. maybe just an ip scan for listing actice mailservers?
