I'm running an older version, 4.24 I believe, due to old hardware and OS,
on RedHat-based 7.2, but not RedHat OS. Mine gives wicked, evil results the
same, but appears to be Euro-spammers, and port scanners as well as Asia,
South American and suspected US spammers.

Believe me I know I would hear IT if someone thought I was dropping
legitimate mail!

Cheers!
