I remember that hitting me a few times. I was usually getting around 500 emails to postmaster per day, but when dictionary attacks came in, I received well over 15,000 per day. Then I started using Exim. It doesn't send bounces to the postmaster by default. (I just view the queue daily and receive an eximstats -- log anaylsist report -- daily.) Don't configure your MTA to send copies of bounces to the postmaster. Does anyone really have the time or desire to scan through all that mail? Jeremy C.
