I called the Black Ice tech support people today and discussed this issue. They told me that Black Ice will not stop a dictionary attack that is in progress, but it would shut the spammer down for a second attempt.
He also had major concerns about backup mail spoolers. He said that you have to whitelist your backup spoolers and that will still allow the spammer to run their dictionary attacks. He didn't think Black Ice was a good product for such use. He seemed like he knew what he was talking about. -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Kratka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] How do they do it? > Are there others suggestion for firewall software for the server.
