lazy b@st@rd!!  :))

I urgently installed an IMGate for an IMail user in TN last autumn.  20 to 
30K msgs incoming per hour, from 1000's of ip's, went on for weeks and 
weeks!!!  Imgate was at 400 SMTPD processes trying to absorb the 
attack.  He was blocking 35K ip's in his firewall before it blew up.  :))
