Hi Terry,
As I brought out in another Email, in our particular case it's 1
request per 2-3 minutes (I don't consider that NEAR a DOS attack). The
total bandwidth to that machine is relatively low, under 10k/s. It's
not like there's 10MBPS of code-red attacks coming in, then I might
understand where they are coming from.

I think there must be a misunderstanding.
Code Red is not going to hurt IMAIL's web server.
But of course the requests are going to create a DOS attack.
The only way I know to stop such a DOS is at a firewall. This really
has very little to do with IMAIL as far as I can tell.
Perhaps I misunderstand your issue but if it is a dos attack that
concerns you then you must stop it upstream from your imail server.
