When I try to send mail to a user *reload*@interbaun.com through an SMTP session, it reports:

 

400 Service temporarily unavailable.

 

Frankly, *reload*@interbaun.com is a stupid email address; but a problem does show up in that all subsequent SMTP session for the next five minutes or so (rough guess) gives the same error.  Additionally, if I connect to the same server using a different source IP address this error still happens (so it’s not just blocking a single IP from doing nasty things, it seems).  So I can basically DOS my own server by sending a mail to that address.

 

I’m running 0.36.1.20011224, and haven’t tried this with any other release.  Is there already a fix for this, or should I be looking at writing one myself?

 

Thanks.
