Re: Unexpected results with reputation preprocessor

A Syn packet (expected) and an ACK RST.  Either your mail server is refusing the connection, or you have something like 
flex response turned on which is resetting the connection?

x.x.x.x represents the private address of my mail server.  I was wrong
when I said that the timestamps are identical--they appear to be the
same in BASE, in which seconds are the smallest increment.  There are no
corresponding records in my maillog.

Are you logging to unified?  Would be interesting to see the output of 
that offlist perhaps if it's sensitive.
