We have been seeing what I would classify as a severe spam storm today
starting at about 0100 EST. 553 new rules so far today (and it is
early).

This might be related.

False alarm.
Just another genius sending around promotional messages to 500 recipients
all listed in the to-field.

Certain other MTA's (I believe non correctly configured POP-Connectors)
seems to resend this messages to all other recipients. For some reason this
will happen not once but mutliple times so each recipient is receiving the
same message several hundred times. Last but not least this promotional
message has a 450 kByte attachment. Congratulaions!

Solution?
Haven't found anything else then addign the sender address to the imail kill
file.

There is definately something happening. Currently we are seeing a mailing
which boasts of 400 million mails being sent promoting some penny stock with
the symbol is CSYT, company name Communications Synergi Technology.

I found out the hard way, because they are using my personal address as
'Reply-To', and I have received more than 2000 NDRs.

They are being relatively clever by forging a Received From line, complete
with our server name and IP. The only thing they've got wrong is the time
stamp.

We see actual senders from all over the world, pretty well all cable or dsl
connections, so I guess it is a zombie storm.

I am trying to figure some way of grabbing all the NDRs and then send each
one 10 times to the company's CEO, CFO, etc.

Apparently it is working; the stock is up 30% today.

We can do a simple bounce message to his address using BOUNCEONLYIF.. 

We are bombarded by them also but they are all getting caught as spam..

We are catching the original messages as spam, but only a small percentage
of the NDRs are being caught. They all come from legit mailservers, and
since there is no URL in the meesage, even if it is attached Declude won't
necessarily penalize it enough.

The BOUNCEONLYIF won't work as the NDRs would attempt to go back to the
zombies, and I doubt that they can even receive mail.

My evil thought was to penalize the company itself by letting them have a
few copies of each of my NDRs.  :-)
