I notice the largest problem or most asked question is, "I can receive
or send mail from domain blar.com....." usually this is because they
havent set up the address in the relay field...
the big isssue is most people dont want to block potential email that
they will receive...but they dont want to be open for attacks either...
doh...now we have a catch22 best course??
has anyone considered getting ahold of a utility to monitor and log
all incoming and outgoing email relays, and if it sees 400 emails coming
in in x amount of time it flags it and blocks it??
note the beautifull laymans terms there, never was a technical writer...anywho
this question came up in my head the other day after watching email traffic
on a friends network shoot up :::well we found the problem...god I hate
spammers::: so I've got a simple enough answer
any body know of a good utility?
