Re: [cobalt-users] All e-mail ports denied

I'm guessing the general consensus you'll get from everyone on this list is
that there should never, ever, be a machine exposed to the Internet without
some kind of firewall in front of it. I'd put one in place asap.

My qube 1 allows the use of 12 ports for email.  All of these ports are
being denied because of  different HOTMAIL account keeping these ports
busy.
Assuming this is a denial attack, what can I do to stop it? Do I need a
firewall? Any suggestion appreciated.
