How to limit the number of TCP connections for a certain port?
 
Hello,
Does anybody know how to limit the number of connections for a certain port. It's for a sendmail mail server, I want to limit the number of connections betwen the mail server and the antivirus machine.
Thanks a lot!!!

Why would you use iptables for doing that? I suggest you configure sendmail to use less connections. Just dropping connections is not a clean solution; also this question is not security related - it should be in the networking forum.
