Is it from someone like Yandex that fills up your nodes? That started
happening here.. so I use this line to keep them off the bbs nodes:
That is all one line, and of course you change "block-me.com" to the name of
the site that is nailing your system... works well here. It returns "port
unreachable" to the bot... You should see the site name somewhere in your
main/inet.log ... that's how I found yandex.
