Thanks Eric that makes me feel a little better. Since the "incident" I'm determined to give myself a crash course in Qmail mailserver administration. I'm certainly not at the level you and most others on the list are but I'm going to get better. I'm determined not to have this happen again since we are still fighting the ridiculousness of a "poor" rating at senderbase.org. Since our server is pretty low volume, it could take a while for that to clear itself up. Although, I could always take the Cisco support rep's advice and contact all 206 (at last count) Ironport domains that are blocking our email and have them whitelist us temporarily :) Do you have any configurations is place to prevent this type of thing? Such as limiting the rate/amount of email being sent from an account? How do you monitor your server to tell if something is even taking place? I did look back at our Cacti graphs of the mailserver, and of course it's obvious now and I'll monitor that more closely, however, I was just wondering if you use something in "real-time" to check on things?
