Every few hours I get bursts of these from random addresses -- always at "poneytelecom.eu" (online.net)
Communicating with abuse@ online.net/poneytelecom.eu is a lost cause. They're completely useless. Is postscreen doing its "best" job here at reducing load? It's clearly not passing the attempts through. I'm just wondering if there's any throttling or something else to here?
