Gentlemen: I do truly appreciate your responses. However, I hope that you aren't missing the bigger picture. Should we all not be feeling immensely vulnerable right now? What happens as this form of attack gains momentum? Granted, this appears to be an isolated incident at the moment. But it was a successful DOS attack that will (in all probability) be repeated. Your Imail server might be next. What will you do?
I called Ipswitch, but they didn't seem overly concerned. I submitted a longer excerpt from the log and will sit here holding my breath. It may very well take a catastrophe to get people riled up enough for this to get some serious attention. I'd much prefer a more proactive approach, however.
