[IMail Forum] Holy crap...

[S.J.Stanaitis]

Dealt with 2 specific DOS attacks against my email server this week.  
The first occured Wed/Thurs morning where someone had sent out an 
unknown number of emails to Yahoo, each email had 2 2.5mb images 
attached.  A few Yahoo servers completely obliterated my T1 with the 
undeliverable messages which included the original message.  Now the 
email we use for our domain contact was SLAMMED with over 30K and rising 
emails which are errors related to an email titled 'test2' with a text 
area that says "Do u receive this message, dude ?  I know, that yes."  
Now I've got all these cranky spammed people telling me to stop when the 
messages didn't even originate on my servers.  Anyone ever experience 
something like this before?  Any suggestions on dealing with it?

Thanks,
Sam
