> You can always wish me luck :-) Or you may just "build yourself some luck" :) see, it's not difficult and since you're running ASSP there are several settings you may tweak to get back in control; let me try talking about some of them
* Setup ClamAV scanning, ensure that both, incoming and outgoing messages are being scanned, next, add to your clamav the sigs from http://www.sanesecurity.co.uk/ - to do so, just pick one of the ready-to-use scripts, configure it to fetch the signatures you want (more later) and schedule the script to fetch and update those extra sigs once a day or... the like * Get a grip on "regexp", that's a *need* not an option if you really want to use ASSP and it will help you a LOT... and I'm not kidding, the whole "regex filter / spambomb" section has a whole LOT of horsepower once you become familiar with regexp; you don't need to become a "guru" but you'll need some "basics" * Set the "localfrequency" parameters in "relaying" to some reasonable value (e.g. int=1800 rcpt=120) and create your own "nolocalfrequency" file to exclude known, good "mass senders" * Add the appropriate mail alerts to "logging" -> "notifyre" so that in case the "localfrequency" gets some hits on in case of other issues you'll get an email alert from your ASSP let things "distillate" and finetune them a little bit at a time and you'll probably/possibly avoid similar issues in a future HTH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
