Hello all and merry christmas

wonder if anyone can help me with this sendmail problem - we had/have 
someone mail bombing us which we thought we had stopped - we put IP in 
hosts deny and put the domain name, fatburningfurnace.com,  in the reject 
hosts box of the email section in the control panel - now our maillog is 
full of the following - is this still a problem and what can we do?


thanks in advance for any help

Steve
