Setting "Excess Flood" Exceptions

[sharstine]

Hi there,

We have a network status bot that spits out messages periodically in a private channel. About once a day, it disconnects due to "Excessive Flood" as shown below. Is there any way to add a flood exception for this bot (without giving it an o:line), so that it does not get disconnected when it spits out a bunch of messages at once?

*** Flood -- Network-Status![email protected] (8138) exceeds 8000 recvQ

Client Exiting: Network-Status [[email protected] [Excess Flood]]

Thanks,
Scott

yeah, create class noflood for it, something like

class noflood {
pingfreq 30;
maxclients 50;
sendq 1000000;
recvq 32000;
};



then an allow block

Also, if you recompile your IRCd, you can enable (in config.h) an option in the class block: no-fakelag or similar.
