That's why I now use Blackice Server from IIS. It can detect multiple smtp connections and close ips down automatically.
Its pretty slick.

I then did a reverse IP to find out where they were from. Below are the results. You can see someone from Thailand had 5 SMTP connections active and Spain had 4. You can also see that only 3 of the IPS connected were for potentially legitimate email. We don't get any legitimate email from other Countries so everything not from the USA would be spam. Any idea why a spammer would open more than one SMTP connection? 202.139.211.241 5 Thailand 88.0.230.26 4 Spain 71.55.71.138 2 USA 87.219.166.9 2 Spain 213.85.39.108 1 Russian Federation 84.77.107.183 1 Spain 83.131.106.234 1 Croatia 84.61.135.61 1 Germany 83.84.74.219 1 Netherlands 90.9.36.180 1 France 83.167.108.79 1 Russian Federation 67.172.162.33 1 USA 84.54.248.96 1 Russian Federation 86.75.242.215 1 France 201.208.171.250 1 Venezuela 88.204.240.177 1 Kazakstan 82.158.0.237 1 Spain 69.30.246.125 1 USA 200.168.86.224 1 Brazil 83.167.108.44 1 Russian Federation 75.41.79.203 1 USA 200.206.252.123 1 Brazil 84.60.109.148 1 Germany --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
