I’ve never used this before, I was always afraid of stopping good customer
mail whenever they sent out industry blasts.

 

Maybe I should review it again.

 

Are the docs still online?

Subject: [MBF]Re: Using Hijack

 

Hi Martin –

 

Our settings are as follows:

 

RELAYTHRESHOLD1         10           50

RELAYTHRESHOLD2         30           200

 

We had a few users who regularly sent announcements to their clients, and
they would always trip this.  So I made sure they had  a static IP for their
office, then whitelisted it underneath that with

ALLOWIP             xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 

It’s a great tool, and it actually came in handy a few months ago when a
user’s account was compromised.  The spammer tried to send several thousand
messages, but all but 200 were caught and held.

 

I also have a script that monitors the hijack folder and alerts me when
anything lands in there.

 

Todd

Subject: [MBF]Using Hijack

 

Hello,

 

Recently we had an issue with a compromised account. A spammer was able to
send many mails over our server.  

 

I’m trying to protect the server against situations like this. 

 

Using HijackRelease would be an idea.

 

>From the textfile HijackRelease.txt I learned, that HijackRelease needs to
be started from the command line. I could automate this adding a line in the
registry at the “run” key.

Did somebody try to run HijackRelease with a windows service wrapper?

 

I’m not sure, if the default settings are really practicable:

 

RELAYTHRESHOLD1   10      50

RELAYTHRESHOLD2   30      100

 

What settings do you use?

 

Many thanks

Freundliche Grüsse
