    So I have an ip.can file that is about 1.3 gigs large, and when it gets

    Do you have some kind of automated system that dumps IPs in there?

    Synchronet itself seems to automatically put IPs in there when it detects clients trying to reconnect too often? I have a lot of entries in my ip.can with comments that start with "; SMTP - TOO MANY CONSECUTIVE FAILED LOGIN ATTEMPTS". Same with SSH.
