Declude's major flaw is that it's only as good as IMail is. When we were being nailed with very high volume distributed dictionary attacks, our IMail server, which is sitting on a high-end machine (fast CPU, fast drives, lots of RAM) just started to die. The spool directory was getting bogged down, and with it the machine. Ultimately the only solution I could find was to use IMGate between the outside world and our IMail box. To this very day, I estimate that on a slow day, we probably get about eighty to ninety thousand dictionary attacks per day, though I haven't seen the volume that we had a year ago. -- A.
