Over the last two days (at least), 24% of all the packets we receive are ICMP messages. Of those, 13% are unreachables and 7% are redirects. This seems really excessive. Is anyone else seeing stuff like this? -------

Which gateways are sending you the ICMP replies? Can you tell if either the unreachables or the redirects happen contrary to what you would expect from "routing by inspection"? In other words, are they caused because you are trying to send bunches of mail to hosts which are, in fact, down? Sorry, no answers. Only questions? Mike
