Hi all,
At around 1:40 PM (PDT) my SMTP server started getting flooded
by enormous amount of connections. The connections were for
seemingly random "users" @my-domain-name.I'm running spamdb in greylist mode, but these servers were
getting white-listed very quickly.$ /usr/sbin/spamdb | /usr/bin/grep -c ^WHITE
717Typical value for above is not more than 20. Traffic going
in/out of my mail-server is minimal.I would remove them from the WHITE list and they would fill up
almost immediately.My guess is someone is using these faked addresses (user@my-domain)
to send out SPAM and I'm getting the bounces from these.I'm basically looking for opinions as how to combat this problem
right now. I'm not even 100% on the bounced email theory, but
this had happened to me once before back in May 2003, but the
bounces were mainly from gc.ca domain.I use gmane to read the list. If not too much to ask, please CC
me on your reply(ies).Thanks,
--patrickp.s., Server is running cvs updated -rOPENBSD_4_1 code.
