Hi Martin,

Thanks for your response, below is by default how it looks, no changes, does this needs authentication for sending alert mails ?

LOGFILE declude\logs\hi####.log
LOGLEVEL LOW

#Send out notification using HijackNotify.eml when HiJack Threshold 2 reached
HIJNOTIFY ON

#Use individual addresses rather than IP as the counter
HIJADDR ON

# The following options -- RELAYTHRESHOLD1 and RELAYTHRESHOLD2 -- determine the two threshold levels.
# RELAYTHRESHOLD1 determines how many E-mails someone can send out before their mail is held temporarily.
# RELAYTHRESHOLD2 determines how many E-mails someone can send out before their mail is held permanently (a spammer).
#
# The first number indicates the time period in MINUTES, and the second number indicates the number of outgoing E-mails
# that can be sent out in the time period. For example, "RELAYTHRESHOLD1 10 50" would allow the user to send out 50
# E-mails in 10 minutes before his mail was held temporarily.

RELAYTHRESHOLD1 10 50
RELAYTHRESHOLD2 30 100

# An ALLOWIP line will let an IP address send unlimited E-mail.
# An ALLOWADDR line will let an email address send unlimited E-mail.

#EXAMPLE
#ALLOWADDR user@domain.com
ALLOWIP 127.0.0.1

Your configuration is okay.

Declude sends you an E-Mail if the second threshold was reached. Hijack moves now all sending mails from the affected IP-Address to the folder spam\hold2. To release the IP-Address, the service of Declude needs to be restarted, which is a bit boring.

So you get one E-Mail per captured IP-Address. To be honest, i never had the case, that several IP-Addresses where be captured on one day. Therefore i can't confirm, that you get a warning for the following attacks.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
