Whoever owns computer number 57018 http://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/show_host_detail.php?hostid=57018 please fix it or take it off the net!
So far it has only produced invalids (2), validation inconclusive (125), or errors (1), not one single valid result!

There are more of those:

http://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/results.php?hostid=34120

That's why boinc is verifying results by running each WU at least twice. And that's something the project admin should see in the backend. I'm not sure if it possible to act on those.

You can limit number of WUs sent to hosts which returned high number of invalid WUs recently. Limit of 1 WU per host and scheduler request delay set to 12h should reduce this problem a lot.

Do you remember the server config option for enabling this? Well, I will try to find out... (Is not that easy for me, working at home)

I never tried to setup my own server, so I do not know exactly how to do this. Out of curiosity I tried to search for this, and found that you can set <reliable_priority_on_over> and <reliable_priority_on_over_except_error> options in project settings, they may do the trick.

I also found that you can blacklist a host by setting its max_results_day field to -1. You can use this to ban hosts which return invalid results only.
