There's not much you can do to avoid the connections.  Phil Beazley posted some info and a code download the other day to combat this.  The thread is here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg11150.html   HTH,   Howie ----- Original Message ----- From: Bartee Lamar To: inFusion Support List Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 10:12 PM Subject: [iMS] eMail FLOOD !!! I am getting a HUGH amount on email to several of my accounts.    The addresses are like [EMAIL PROTECTED]  or [EMAIL PROTECTED]  and many more to other names and domains. NOTE: These names do not exist.  I have captured a couple of the messages.  they look like they have an attachment, which is probably the virus.   They are coming from  mxsf19.cluster1.charter.net and other places.   It looks like they all get caught in RCPT.cfm and bounced for not having a valid eMail addres on my server.   They are eating up my 25 threads on many occasions.   I have debug turned on and I am getting VERY large log files.  Like 18 meg. 170,000 lines.    Would it be better to turn off debug.  How much overhead do this add.?   Is there a more effecient way to stop them?   ANY help would be appriciated.     Bartee Lamar Credit Card Merchant Accounts / Web Sites & Hosting / eCommerce / eMail Marketing www.enterpriseenergy.com  MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 62263807 AIM:barteelamar Business Phone: 770 642 1502 This list server is Powered by iMS "The Swiss Army Knife of Mail Servers" This list is provided as a free service.
