We have a problem with people using software that would try many names
like:
09:27 22:55 SMTPD(00A801BA) [216.28.79.149] ERR florida.com invalid user

It really dragged down server. They run all night and when we check server
in morning it is dog slow.
At times we block the ip address if they are in middle of their game.
But this time we did a trace and sent log files to the origination.
They terminated the user.
So he will try again from new ISP. Hopefully he had dsl or cable. Not so
easy to replace.
