hi there.

can somebody point me to a good link that
can explain to me the different programs
used in adress harvesting.

why?
we are suffering from a constant attack
that would have drowned our mailserver
(on a steady dsl connection) if i would not
have built a firewall around it, thrown in
a couple of rbl`s and blacklisted manually another
300+ servers, constantly growing.

these programs seem to invent new mailservers
every second.

logs were up to 40 mb (and growing exponentially)
as opposed to a usual 500k
(we have only 50 users on our mailserver)
prior to those attacks. and they are still quite
heavy. so i am really curious weather this
is just one bot running wild, if somebody
included us as a testserver on his bulkmail
cd, or whatever might have happened, or
weather this is just something really regular
that just happens and you have to live with
it.

in other words. do i have a chance of ever
being able to check my logfiles some day again on this poor
oldschool first generation power pc or should
i just stop caring about these half a million
mails to nonexistant users a day and buy a faster
computer?

any help would be really welcome.
s.
