the tcp.smtp file should contain these options: (I set my wrong limit VERY 
low)
CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50"
CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10"

Subject: [qmailtoaster] Mail flood question


We've just had a problem with several thousand (20 000+) bombarding our
server on random but valid accounts.

I was wondering if there was anyway, to prevent or control the amount of
incoming mail?  The only ones I'm aware off are the
concurrencyincoming and remote, but they are on 100 and 60, and I believe
they control physical connections don't they?

I can't for the life of me think on how to prevent this type of flooding,
although not debilitating, it has an impact on our bandwidth.

Any help you guys can provide as ever would be greatly appreciated.
