Hi,


We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.


If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.


The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.


Regards.

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

First, sorry the long delay you are facing :(

At second, please note that "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement.

Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS to GNU/Linux?

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.

As you Savannah is a central point for development, distribution and
maintenance of GNU Software.

There is a companion site savannah.nongnu.org where we also host Free
Software projects that are not part of the GNU Project, but run on
free platforms.

However, we do not allow to host your project on Savannah and
SourceForge at the same time, if Savannah is just a project mirror.
Your project development should happen primary on Savannah.

How do you plan to use your Savannah account?

Cheers

  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.
