Perhaps this will be a duplicate question, but I'll address it to Scott... why can't JunkMail identify and stop dictionary attacks? It would seem like stopping dictionary attacks would be a primary function of anti-spam software.
Stopping dictionary attacks isn't really within the primary scope of anti-spam software (it falls more into the realm of security software). However, it is close enough that we would definitely like to add such a feature to Declude JunkMail.
The problems, though, are that [1] it can be difficult to tell when such an attack is occurring, especially when it is distributed, and [2] IMail doesn't have any documented way of updating its Control Access file (which is used to block IPs from sending mail). Add to that the #3 (Ipswitch recently said that some versions of IMail are restricted 100 IPs that they can block), and it becomes nearly impossible for Declude to do this.
