Hi all, I wish I did not have to write this email but I just have not been about to find a solution myself. I am running SIMS, and have been for over a year now with no problems. Within the last month I have been spammed numerous times I would say on average three times a week. This is really annoying as it brings down my entire server. I have tried using a RBL which I type in "blackholes.mail-abuse.org" in the "RBL Server List" setting within my SMTP module. This still hasn't helped. I also currently have "Verify Return Paths" turned on. I would tell SIMS what IP addresses my email accounts will be accessed from however I cannot predict that as everyone using my server has different ISP and travels the globe.
My question is what can I do to help prevent this from happening so often? I wish it could be stopped totally but I know that that can't happen. I notice in the Message Queue list (which stretch on for miles it seems) that the majority of From column is "NULL@NULL" is there anyway I can use this to my advantage? Can I tells SIMS if FROM == @NULL ignore? If anyone has any ideas on how to help me teach SIMS to ignore @NULL people, or any other techniques I can use to stop having my server over run with SPAM would be really appreciated.
