Hi

I have noticed a strange trend in some of my servers mail logfiles.

The phenomina consistes of 29 (exactly and every time) emails 
addressed to (nonexsistent) 29 different usernames. Since i hardly
have users on my system, these emails get bounced.
The sender is allways different, but the 29 email names never repeate,
suggesting to me a distributed email-guessing attempt directed from a 
centeral name-list anf performed by different end-users 29 names at a time.

So my question is: Is this something new, do any other sysadmins see this ?
and if it is not new, then what is it, and how to guard against it ??

Cheers
Szemir
