No, No.. he did have protection. But the NDR's came in such a massive quantity 
that his DSL couldn't manage so many NDR's coming, even though his server was 
blocking them all and throwing them at the badmail folder. His disk space 
reached zero in an hour or so.

 

Impressive!

Abandon his Domain name? What, he did not expect stuff like this? Did not do 
his homework on operating an e-mail server on the Internet/

 

What, he thinks his new domain name will be exempt from these attacks?

 

Sounds like he needs some configuration changes and gateway software to protect 
against that.

I had a customer that had a SBS server with a fixed IP DSL modem. One day, some 
dude started to make Directory Harvest Attacks against some small companies 
(Nissan, Renault...), and set his e-mail as the reply-to address. 

 

Needlessly to say, he had to abandon his DNS name. The NDR's came in such 
monstrous quantities that they made itself a DoS attack ;)

Hey guys,

I was looking at my firewall logs yesterday and noticed a big increase in my 
Firewall service logs. Started running it down and the logs shows a ton of DNS 
and SMTP traffic coming from my outbound relay. We'll wouldn't you know it, it 
wasnt' even the ISA firewall's fault :-)

You might want to this out and disable sending NDRs. Fixed the problem for me.
