Re: [IMail Forum] AAaa! dictionary lock-out bug

[Oblio]

Ok, I think we're getting off the point.  I do not have a comprimised account - just users making mistakes.  When their programs keeps trying to send to a mis-spelled account, it's locking down the *whole company*.

I can't believe I'm the only one who trusted the users more than the outside world.

Agreed - authenticated users in my experience are usually the root cause of this problem and their weak passwords.
