Case resolved. And actually this is a MAJOR drawback to ever use the Max invalid rcpt at the SMTP connection registry fix, when you have a secondary MX. What was happening is that since my Primary MX was closing connection on invalid addresses, all the attacks where reverting to the "friendlier" secondary MX that wasn't closing connections. Add all the closed connections (after 2 invalid) attacks redirected to the secondary MX and the secondary MX trying to resend the undeliverable every 3 hours, failing after 2 invalids, re-queuing, trying again in 3 hours, failing after 2 invalids, re-queuing, etc, etc, etc.... Results: 5000++ emails queued and constantly growing on the secondary MX. Resolution: Undo the reg fix and let my server being attack like usual Does anyone have some suggestions on how to prevent those dictionary attacks? Spare me from 3rd parties solution, Imail mainly does what we need it to do and we don't NEED (and/or) WANT to add another point of failure.

Mine has jumped from an average of 10MB a day to close to 50MB a day??? I've had verbose logging for all this time but now I'm tempted to turn it off if I don't find any solutions to this increased size. The only thing I added was the registry fix to close the SMTP connection after 2 invalid addresses. I know this mean an additional 3 lines in the logs when being attacked (ehlo, mail from and max invalid rcpts exceeded) but to jump being 5 times bigger, I really don't get it. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
