i've got an email client. let's call them FOO.COM (domain replaced to
protect the innocent-ish)
they used to be hosted somewhere else. i don't know what their setup
was, but i suspect there was some sort of "catch-all" address for the
domain. as a result, they now get a fairly constant stream of badly
addressed spams that might have, at one time, been delivered
somewhere. here's just *one minute's worth* culled from my logs:

Unrouteable address
now, this has been going on for some time. six months or so. when i
first took over, i thought i was getting DOSd based on the spike in
the number of connections on the server. at the time, it was SIMS.
now i've moved them on to exim.
since i took over hosting, all of these dictionary-style spams have
been going nowhere, being rejected out of hand with "<<< 550
Unrouteable address". i know i can't do anything more than ignore
them and hope they will move on to some other target but... sheesh.
six months? with nothing to show for it? you'd think there'd be some
sort of list purging in all that time.
