How can I tell the difference between being hijacked or joe-jobbed? And how can I really protect the server from attacks?
Regarding the NAT Session issue, I believe that it is occuring becuase of all the replies from bounced messages from other mail servers. My table supports only 1024 session per host. I am upgrading everything next week; server, disks, firewall, etc. Thanks!
