        http://www.MSExchange.org/
        
        Hi guys,
        
        One of our clients was spammed quite heavily a few days ago. The
problem
        seems to be that the emails were sent directly to them so their
Exchange
        box was accepting them but it was close to 30,000 emails being
sent to
        them and subsequently filling the queues with NDR's and so on.
        
        From our perspective I can't work out a way to stop an attack
like this.
        The mail was addressed to the client but was being sent from
many email
        addresses so we couldn't simply use ISA to block them or
Exchange.
        
        The client is only a 512k ADSL connection so the emails swamped
them and
        brought the server to its knees.
        
        Any ideas what can be done to prevent an attack like this in the
future?
        
        Cheers
        
        paul
