I wanted to search through the mailing list to see if someone was experiencing what I am. I noticed that on the www.shupp.org website the link to the list which is how I got onto the list in the first place) and its searchable.
I also that the most recent emails onto this list are as of 05/20/2006 am I looking at this right or is there a glitch that the newer emails are not making it into the list? Great product and mods! My problem is more of questions with the "null sender". It seems that I am getting slammed with tons of spam as of nov 1,2006 and installed the toaster as the front end to the mail mail mailserver. the toaster is getting slammed hard and 99% of the emails are from "null sender". I'd love to just drop the connection for the "null sender". My concurrencyincoming is set to 600 and it fills up (600 out of 600) within seconds and stays there. With the connections tapped out, legitimate emails do not get through because the server is is almost constantly at 600/600. I've thrown a second MX server in line and that too fills up almost instantly. (700/700... thats 1300 connections in a blink of an eye!) I've blocked as much as I can of overseas (RIPE, APNIC, etc) But I believe that the rise is due to the BOT NET garbage going on. The blocking lowered the connections for less than 1 day. Now most of the connections are coming in from legitimate companies... or so I think. I've been tracking all of the connections for the last week and while some look like IP attacks ( example: xxx.xxx.xxx.1, .2, .56, .90 etc.) I can block those ranges easily. But the killer is that the majority use an IP address only once or twice in a week. Sure I can take all of the IPs and put them into the tcp.smtp but thats NUTS if you ask me. Any ideas ? tia Nitch. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
