Hello, I am running a 3.5 MBit SDSL from <http://www.nerim.net/> and have a @home Mailserver which is currently (since 2007-12-17) hit by daily several 100.000 spams (2-5 times 30-120 minutes) from over 2000 different IP's.
My mailserver is rejecing thios shit nearly perfect but the server has a System- and CPU-load of nearly 100% which make the IMAP server unusable and since the sevrer does automated mailprocessing (40.000 per day) I hit a real problem. Now, since most senders (over 90%) have wrong reverse DNS I like to know, whether there is a possibility to block such connections on the router with iptables and helpers? Thanks, Greetings and nice Day Michelle Konzack Systemadministrator Tamay Dogan Network Debian GNU/Linux Consultant -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ ##################### Debian GNU/Linux Consultant ##################### Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSN LinuxMichi 0033/6/61925193 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
