Weblogs just show me logging in, or trying to, that is when I realized
that my web was down. Why would a dictionary attack cause web to crash, it would
be more efficient to do it via pop3... You would have to be doing post
commands all day long.
Why
google? I would get vague info... The specific info I am seeking is as it
pertains to imail. I had used Kendra, and other dictionary attacks to test my
own servers back on v6.04... but at the same time, that was not spawing email. I
have all mail cc'd to another account, and I get all sorts of stuff on
Chinatimes, and other far eastern asia related topics. Seems like it is
relaying, and even if it is a dictionary attack, I find think it might take
about 100 years to reach my password in mixed case, and it also is an acronym
for a very highly specific industry term, along with a sequence of numbers. It
is the kind of thing that will never occur in any language.
I
guess it sounds like a game of who can hold their breath longer. But in the
meantime, my server has been under attack for 2 weeks.
I want
to know why webmail keeps crashing after i change the ports at
random?
This
is a very clean install, just iis, imail sql on the box, as it is to be kept
clean being used as a development server.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] imail, meltdownAs I said before, you are seeing a dictionary attack, nothing else. There are several ways to stop or reduce these, just google for dictionary attack. A 9 meg smtp log file isn't overly large, but in order to "prove" your original theory correct, we need to see the web logs where your attacker is doing the attacking.....
