Hi everyone,

Here is my problem:

Someone is mailbombing my server.  We cannot find the source because the
incoming IP keeps changing aftyer every 15 messages.  Myself and our ISP
believe is is coming from infected PC's on the net.  But anyway.....

What they are doing is send emails to random names:  [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc....

Now these addresses don't exist.  But IMS is sending a bounce to the bogus
email that supposedly sent it.  Which begin a nasty cycle.  Now normally I
wouldn't care - I have better things to do that look for a kiddie playing
games, but on average it is 28K messages per day and my MRTG stats are all
over the place and are no longer effective for true bandwidth monitoring.

Is there a way to just dump bad messages and not send a bounce message?

Thanks.
Mike
